The easiest way to secure the n8n workflows is to add authentication to applicable nodes. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it:
- Inside your n8n workflow, find and open the node you want to edit.
- After that, find the 'Authentication' section and then click the menu below it.
- Choose the type of authentication you want to implement.
- Subsequently, click 'Set Up Credential' to add the required security details for the authentication.
- Come up with security credentials, then enter them into their respective input fields.
- Once done, click 'Save' to apply the changes.
- When you test the newly configured node, a required authentication will show up as a way to secure your n8n workflow.
