Findings: For salting and hashing, either crypto or bcrypt can be used, but bcrypt appears to be better / be the standard, so we will use that For sessions and tokens, we can use express-sessions and cookie-parser respectively, but this is more difficult and beyond the basic requirements for this project, so we will not worry about using these for now
