This pull request introduces significant enhancements to the BeFake project, focusing on improving security measures and user experience. The changes include an updated one-time password (OTP) verification process and conditional rendering of the Navbar based on the user's authentication status.
Key Changes:
OTP Verification Enhancement:
Implemented a security feature where if the OTP entered by the user is incorrect, the user is automatically logged out.
This change prevents users from remaining on a logged-in page with non-functional features after a failed OTP attempt, thereby enhancing both security and user experience.
Conditional Navbar Display:
Modified the Navbar to hide the 'Map' and 'Memories' tabs when the user is not logged in.
This update improves the clarity of the user interface, guiding users more effectively and preventing access to features that require authentication.
User Guidance on Memories Tab:
Added a new feature where if a user, who is not logged in, navigates to the 'Memories' tab, a message is displayed: "Please log in".
This message serves as a user-friendly prompt, guiding users to log in for full access to the application's features.
Purpose and Impact
Enhanced Security: The OTP change significantly bolsters the security of the application by ensuring that users who fail the OTP verification are not left in a semi-authenticated state.
Improved User Interface: Hiding certain tabs from unauthenticated users makes the application more intuitive and user-friendly. It clarifies which features are available to them, reducing potential confusion and enhancing the overall user experience.
Effective User Guidance: The prompt on the Memories tab effectively guides users towards logging in, making the application more user-centric and easy to navigate.
Testing and Validation
Extensive testing has been conducted to ensure that these features work seamlessly across various scenarios.
The OTP verification process was rigorously tested with both correct and incorrect inputs to validate the logout functionality.
The conditional rendering of the Navbar and the prompt on the Memories tab were tested with different user states (logged in/out) to ensure proper functionality.
I look forward to any feedback or suggestions for further improvements.
