Details and Assumptions

• The system will check the entered password against the stored hash for the account.
• Passwords will be encrypted and stored securely using a hashing algorithm.

Acceptance Criteria

When they enter their correct password
Then they are successfully logged into their account
And they are redirected to their user homepage
