User Story: Login and Logout

[SophieMcGee]

As a site user, I can log in and log out of my personal account so that I can manage my events securely.

• A login form requires valid credentials (email and password).
• Users receive a notification when successfully logged in or logged out.
• Incorrect login attempts display an error message.

• Progress: Users can now log in and log out of their accounts. The system provides notifications for successful logins and logouts. Incorrect login attempts are also handled with appropriate feedback.
• Issues: None
• Next Steps: Test the login and logout functionality for various edge cases, such as invalid credentials and session timeouts.

• Updates:
  • Addressed the login page issue caused by incorrect base.html settings, ensuring the proper loading of authentication-related templates.
  • Modified the navigation to reflect "My Calendar" instead of "My Account" when users are logged in, providing a clearer user experience.

The navigation bar updates dynamically depending on the user’s authentication status (e.g., “My Calendar” link when logged in).

Issues: No major issues, but testing for edge cases (like session timeouts) is needed.

Next Steps:

Add two-factor authentication (2FA) for an additional layer of security. Test session timeout and auto-logout after periods of inactivity. Ensure users are redirected to their original page post-login if they attempt to access a restricted page.

  • Error messages are displayed for incorrect login attempts, ensuring clarity for users who may have entered incorrect credentials.

• Dynamic Navigation:

  • The navigation bar updates dynamically based on the user's authentication status, displaying relevant links when logged in.

Issues:

• No major issues.

Future Steps:

1. Implement Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):

   • Add an extra layer of security with 2FA to enhance user protection.

2. Session Timeout Testing:

   • Test session timeout and auto-logout features to ensure users are logged out after periods of inactivity.
