What started out as a small module has become a month long project. Some days I sleep well, other days I keep a notebook besides me to jot down ideas. I’ll be putting this project up on Product Hunt and Gumtree as a stand alone module for other developers to use.
Version 1.0 has the following features:
- User can make an account using their email address
- User has to verify their account through activation URL
- User can now access their dashboard
- User can login with the correct credentials
- User can request a password reset upon correctly answering their secret question
- Google recaptcha v.3 (invisible)
Some security precautions taken are:
- Password requirements: 1 uppercase, 1 number and 1 symbol required in the password which should be at least a minimum of 8 characters long
- Secret question and answers
- Activation of account through verification link with a expiry set to 24 hours
- Spam control through invisible honey pot form field
Pretty basic but plug n play it’s most basic form. I’ve tried to make it very beginner friendly by being Verbose and Redundant!
Version 1.1 will have the following additions:
- Registration verified through Google Authentication
- Option to complete registration through OTP via SMS
- Password reset through Google Authentication
- Password reset through OTP
I might get distracted by another project I’ve wanted to do which is Register + Signup through facial verification
