Our current authentication system uses Basic Auth, which doesn't meet modern standards for handling user credentials. While security isn't our primary concern currently, we need a system that is more flexible and aligns with best practices. Switching to JWT (JSON Web Tokens) will allow us to handle authentication in a more standardized and scalable way.
Desired Outcome
Transition all routes using Basic Auth to use JWT-based authentication.
Implement a token-based authentication system with JWTs.
