Implement User Authentication and Registration #3
Description
Feature: Implement User Authentication and Registration
Description
As part of the GSB Matrimony Microservices project, we need to implement a robust user authentication and registration system. This functionality is crucial for ensuring the security of user accounts and providing a seamless onboarding experience. The authentication system should support user sign-up, login, password reset, and email verification.
Tasks
- Design the user authentication flow, including user registration, login, and password reset.
- Implement a secure password hashing mechanism to store user passwords.
- Create API endpoints for user registration, login, and email verification.
- Develop logic for sending verification emails and handling email verification tokens.
- Implement user session management to maintain user authentication across requests.
- Write unit tests to ensure the correctness of the authentication and registration process.
Additional Considerations
- Utilize best practices for security, such as implementing measures to prevent common security vulnerabilities like CSRF and XSS attacks.
- Provide clear error messages and user feedback for failed authentication attempts.
- Integrate the authentication system with the overall microservices architecture.
Expected Deliverables
A fully functional user authentication and registration system that meets the project's security and usability requirements.
