Implement Email Verification System for User & NGO Registration

[codewarnab]

Currently, the user registration process allows users to enter any email without verification. This poses a security risk and can lead to misuse of the platform. To enhance security and ensure valid user accounts, we need to implement an email verification system.

Frontend Changes:

1. UI Modifications:

   • Integrate a new step in the registration process for email verification.
   • Add a field for users to input their email during registration.
   • Display a message prompting users to check their email for the verification code.

2. OTP Input:

   • Design an interface to input the OTP sent to the user's email.
   • Validate the OTP entered by the user against the one sent to their email.

3. Error Handling:

   • Provide appropriate error messages for invalid email addresses or failed OTP verification.

Backend Changes:

1. Endpoint Creation:

   • Develop a backend endpoint to handle email verification requests.
   • Generate a unique OTP for each registration request and associate it with the user's email.
   • Validate the OTP received from the frontend against the stored OTP.

2. Email Sending:

   • Integrate a service to send emails with OTPs to users' email addresses.
   • Ensure email templates are clear and informative.

3. Database Updates:

   • Update the database schema to store the OTP and its expiration time.

Additional Details: ( Can be created as separate issue discuss below )

• Ensure OTPs are valid only for a limited time to enhance security.
• Implement retry mechanisms for OTP verification to accommodate user errors.
• Provide a user-friendly interface with clear instructions for the verification process.
• Test the system thoroughly to ensure reliability and security.
