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.
