Description
This pull request introduces comprehensive security measures for OAuth login. In addition to securing the OAuth login, a custom password reset feature and a user settings page were developed for user profile management.
Changes and Implementation
Task 1: OAuth Security Measures
OAuth Token Validation:
Implemented secure token validation to ensure the integrity of tokens.
Checked token expiry and issued appropriate error responses for expired or invalid tokens.
Rate Limiting:
Used Django’s throttling mechanism (AnonRateThrottle) for OAuth login endpoint to limit repeated login attempts, enhancing protection against abuse.
This approach serves as an effective rate-limiting mechanism for managing login requests.
Error Handling:
Implemented detailed error handling to cover scenarios where tokens are expired, invalid, or missing, providing informative feedback to users.
Deliverable: OAuth login endpoint is secured with proper validation, throttling, and error handling.
Task 2: Verification of OAuth Functionality
End-to-End Testing:
Personally tested the full OAuth login process, including initiating login, receiving tokens, validating them, and ensuring successful login completion.
Confirmed that the OAuth flow operates correctly and securely from start to finish.
Deliverable: OAuth login feature verified to function as expected, based on end-to-end testing.
Additional Implementations
Custom Password Reset Feature:
Developed both front-end and back-end functionality for password reset.
Users can request a password reset email, which provides a secure, one-time link for resetting their password.
User Settings Management:
Added a settings page where users can update their profile information (e.g., username, phone number).
The back-end includes validation and error handling for profile updates, ensuring that data integrity is maintained.
