Introducing login and sign-up functionality not only enhances user experience but also bolsters security measures. By enabling users to create accounts and authenticate themselves securely, we can personalize their experience, facilitate user engagement, and ensure data privacy. *Objective:* The primary objective of this enhancement is to integrate a user authentication system into our open-source chat application. This includes implementing features such as user registration, login, password management, and session handling. *Key Features:* 1. User Registration: Allow users to create new accounts by providing essential details such as username, email, and password. 2. Login: Enable registered users to authenticate themselves securely using their credentials. 3. Password Management: Implement password encryption and provide options for password reset and recovery. 4. Session Handling: Maintain user sessions securely to ensure seamless navigation within the application. 5. Security Measures: Implement robust security measures such as encryption, hashing, and protection against common vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS). — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#10>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AXH6TTUEI44TCAI3LYWDUZLZBSYHZAVCNFSM6AAAAABHQP2RJCVHI2DSMVQWIX3LMV43ASLTON2WKOZSGI4DSNJYGU3TGOI> .

Hey! @urstrulynishkarsh I'm excited to contribute to the project by implementing the login and signup functionality.

Here are the two approaches we can follow to implement the authentication part :

1. Authentication using Appwrite or Firebase
   We can directly make use of these backend services for authentication

2. Authentication using custom logins/registration using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) :
   Another method we could explore is implementing custom login and registration using JSON Web Tokens (JWT). With JWT, we can securely manage user authentication without relying on third-party services. This approach offers flexibility and control over user authentication processes while maintaining security standards.

Let me know your thoughts on this approach!

Also, I have worked on socket.io and have a good experience of handling such backend portions. I am eager to work and contribute on this project. Can you assign this issue to me? GSSC'24

Hey ashutosh but our aim that we don’t want to store any information of user

But chat app have to provide feature show chat history and authentic user for conversation for that user data is necessary

[Ashutowsh]

So, @urstrulynishkarsh can you brief us about the requirements and specifications needed to contribute into authentication part for this application.

@urstrulynishkarsh I think it's better to add this feature to our project. What do you think?

[urstrulynishkarsh]

No it’s not a good feature
