Workflow breakdown

PHASE 01

SIGNUP Section (Account Creation)

Complete user registration flow with validation and verification

  • Field Validation: Checks if required fields (name, email, password) are provided
  • Email Verification: Sends confirmation email to verify email address
  • Password Creation: Enforces password requirements (length, complexity)
  • Account Creation: Stores user credentials in database securely
  • Welcome Email: Sends welcome message/confirmation after successful signup
PHASE 02

LOGIN Section (Authentication)

Secure authentication with password recovery capabilities

  • Check Email Assistance: Email validation/format checking and account lookup verification
  • Update Password: Password change functionality with old password verification and new password validation
  • Confirm Password Change: Success confirmation, notification to user, and session update

Technical highlights

Expected User Flow

  • New User: Goes through SIGNUP → Creates account → Receives confirmation → Can LOGIN
  • Existing User: LOGIN with credentials → Access account features
  • Password Recovery: Use 'Check email assistance' → Update password → Confirm change

Technical Components

  • Database operations (user storage, credential management)
  • Email service integration (send confirmations, notifications)
  • Authentication system (JWT, sessions, password hashing)
  • Input validation (email format, password strength)
  • Error handling (duplicate accounts, invalid credentials)

Security Features

  • Password hashing before storage
  • Email verification to prevent fake accounts
  • Secure password reset flow
  • Session management
