Implement a secure authentication system for Admin users, ensuring that only authorized administrators can access protected routes and perform sensitive actions.
Key Features
Login Functionality
Admins should be able to log in using their email and password.
Implement JWT-based or session-based authentication.
Password Security
Passwords should be hashed using a library like bcrypt before being stored.
Optionally provide a password reset feature.
Access Control
Protect admin-only routes with authentication middleware.
Ensure the isAdmin flag is checked to verify admin privileges.
Token Expiry
Set expiration for tokens (e.g., 24 hours) to enhance security.
Optionally allow token refresh to extend the session.
Error Handling
Return meaningful error messages for invalid credentials or unauthorized access.
Implement rate limiting to prevent brute-force attacks.
Requirements
JWT Middleware to handle token validation.
Password Hashing to ensure passwords are securely stored.
Access Control to limit route access based on admin authentication.
