Issue: Implement Login/Registration Popup for Mirage

Mirage currently requires a userinfo.json to function, which makes it difficult for users to share or start using the app without manually setting up this file.

Task:

Create a Login/Registration Popup when Mirage is first launched. Here's what needs to be done:

1. When the user opens Mirage for the first time, show a popup with two options:

   • Register
   • Login

2. For Registration, the following fields should be displayed:

   • Username (compulsory)
   • Email (compulsory)
   • Security Key: Use the sample security key from userinfo.json in the repo.
   • Description (optional)
   • Profile Picture (optional): This should allow the input of a .jpg, .png, or .gif URL.

   Save this data in a new file called userprofile.json on the server side.

3. For Login, the popup should only ask for:

   • Username
   • Email

4. If the userinfo.json already exists on the client side, the popup should not appear, and Mirage should proceed as normal.

5. On the server side:

   • The email should be encrypted and stored in userprofile.json.
   • During Login, decrypt the email and match it with the provided username. If they match, the user can log in.

Important Notes:

• Ensure that encryption is implemented for email storage.
• Cross-check the username and email during login to verify the user's identity.

Optional:

• Comment if you have any doubts or need further clarification.

Hey! @KorryKatti Before I started to work on this, I have a thought to improve the QoL for developers contributing to this project. What if we split up the code into different files and reference it all in one. I believe by implementing this it would improve any future development in this project. Let me know if it sounds cool so I can create a separate issue for the same and work on it, I think it would only take 1-2 days to do this.
