Personal Project
Basic Auth App
Summary
I developed a web application using NextJS for the front-end and Express for the back-end. One of the key features of the application was basic authentication, which I implemented using jsonwebtoken. This involved setting up routes for logging in and out, storing hashed passwords in a database, and using middleware to protect certain routes.

Principal
I encountered some challenges while implementing the authentication system.
Specifics
- Figuring out how to properly hash and salt passwords for security. However, I was able to overcome these challenges through researching best practices and seeking guidance from more experienced developers..
- In addition, I have difficulty using email for users to authenticate their accounts when registering.
