🔑 Key Topics Covered:
✅ User Registration & Login (Email verification, bcrypt password hashing)
✅ JWT Authentication (Access & Refresh tokens for secure sessions)
✅ Role-Based Access Control (Admin/user roles & protected routes)
✅ Secure API Queries (Prevent SQL injection, XSS, and brute-force attacks)
✅ Helmet & Security Best Practices (Rate limiting, HTTPS, and more)
✅ Error Handling & Logging (Monitor authentication activity effectively)
⚡ Perfect for developers looking to secure their MERN stack apps and optimize API performance.
User Registration
Form Submission: Users should be able to fill out a registration form with fields like username, email, and password.
Validation: Validate user inputs for proper format, and check for existing accounts with the same email/username.
Password Encryption: Use bcrypt or another library to hash passwords before storing them in the database.
Email Verification: Optionally, send a verification email to confirm the user's email address.
User Login
Form Submission: Users should be able to log in with their email/username and password.
Authentication: Compare the hashed password stored in the database with the user's input.
Session Management: Use JWT (JSON Web Token) or another method to maintain user sessions securely.
Password Management
Reset Password: Provide a mechanism for users to reset their passwords via email verification.
Change Password: Allow authenticated users to change their password from their profile.
Profile Management
View Profile: Authenticated users should be able to view their profile information.
Edit Profile: Allow users to update their profile information like name, email, and other optional details.
Access Control
Role-Based Access Control: Implement roles (e.g., user, admin) and restrict access to certain features based on roles.
Protected Routes: Ensure that certain routes are accessible only to authenticated users.
Security
Rate Limiting: Prevent brute-force attacks by limiting the number of login attempts.
Input Validation: Protect against common vulnerabilities like SQL injection and XSS by validating and sanitizing user inputs.
HTTPS: Use HTTPS to secure data transmission between the client and the server.
User Feedback
Notifications: Inform users about successful registration, login, and any errors during these processes.
