Update user authentication #11

Open niamurrell opened 6 years ago

niamurrell commented 6 years ago

Currently the app uses passport, passport-local, and passport-local-mongoose to create and store usernames and hashed passwords. However users can't reset their password, get emails for authentication, etc.

Recommended to update how accounts are handled in order to remove password storage from this site, and make user accounts more secure.

Ideas:

I can have a look at this this week and see if it's something I have the bandwidth to do.
