Internship Assignment: Building a Secure User Authentication System The following task will determine whether or not you are selected for the internship: In this assignment, you have to create a robust user authentication system that ensures the security and privacy of user information. The frontend of the assignment, developed in Next.js, is already completed and available on the main branch of the Git repository. Your task will be to develop the backend using Express.js to enable secure user registration, login, and social media authentication through the Google and Facebook APIs. To enhance the user experience, you'll implement OTP verification through the Gupshup OTP service, ensuring seamless and secure authentication. The dashboard you create will showcase user profiles, complete with their names, email addresses, and phone numbers. A logout feature will also be implemented for enhanced user control. As part of best practices, we require you to follow the Git version control workflow. When submitting your completed code, please create a separate branch in the public repository you set up for this assignment. You can name the branch, such as "intern-yourname". This practice helps keep the main branch clean and allows us to easily review and provide feedback on your work. As an exciting opportunity for extra recognition, you have the option to host your completed assignment on Google Cloud services. If you choose to do so, you'll earn extra points in the assignment evaluation. This optional step will showcase your deployment skills and provide you with a real-world experience of deploying web applications in a cloud environment. By successfully completing this assignment, we'll be able to evaluate your hands-on experience with modern web development frameworks, user authentication techniques, database integration, and cloud deployment. We encourage you to submit your completed code to a public repository, in the separate branch you create, where we can assess your skills and provide feedback.
