Set up log in system using flask

[Mitan4E]

I've added a sign-up and login feature to our site. Now users can sign up directly from the homepage using a modal popup. They fill in their details, and once they hit submit, their info is stored securely in our database. They've got the option to share their gender and social links, but no pressure—it's all optional.

For returning users, they enter their email and password into the login modal popup, and if all's good, they're taken straight to their account. If something's off, they'll get a flash message letting them know what's up (flash messages appear both for success and non-success).

We're hashing passwords for security, and all the user details are stored in the database (connect_hearts.db). When users log in, we keep track of their session so the site stays personalized for them (done using the flask import session).

To do:

• Add the log out functionality
• Make everything look nice (I didn't spent any time on design)
• Add some input sanitization

Amazing work Martin. I am easily able to create an account and able to log in. Like how you've already added if an email already exists.

Suggestions:

• Adding onto your note about input sanitisation, we should add a character cap to the phone number and only allow numbers
• Once a user is logged in, remove the ability to log in/sign up again unless they log out
• Add a log out button

I will try and work on updating the header once the user has logged in successfully

I have simply made it so that once the user is logged in:

• Sign-up button gets repalced with their name and now links to the account settings page
• Log-in button gets replaced with log-out which will log the user out of the session

I have not added any sanitisaion yet
