Description:
As part of enhancing our application's authentication system, we need to implement Google Authentication using Passport.js and JWT (JSON Web Tokens). This will enable users to log in securely using their Google accounts and manage their sessions using JWT tokens.
Tasks:
Set up Passport.js and JWT dependencies in the project to handle Google Authentication.
Configure Passport.js with the Google strategy to enable authentication via Google accounts.
Implement user registration endpoint to create new user accounts securely.
Create a Google login endpoint that authenticates users using their Google accounts and generates JWT tokens.
Implement a protected endpoint that requires a valid JWT token for access.
Set up middleware to authenticate requests using Passport.js and the JWT strategy.
Handle logout functionality to invalidate tokens or sessions.
Implement password reset functionality for users who have forgotten their password.
Acceptance Criteria:
Users should be able to register and create new accounts securely.
Users should be able to log in using their Google accounts and receive a JWT token for subsequent authenticated requests.
The protected endpoint should only be accessible with a valid JWT token.
JWT tokens should be properly validated, and expired or invalid tokens should be rejected.
Users should be able to log out and invalidate their session or token.
The password reset functionality should allow users to reset their password securely.
Additional Information:
Make sure to follow best practices for security, such as properly hashing passwords and securely handling JWT tokens.
Document the authentication API endpoints and any required input parameters or response formats.
Ensure that appropriate error handling is implemented for various scenarios, such as invalid credentials or expired tokens.
Users' personal information obtained from Google should be handled with care and in compliance with privacy regulations.
Provide clear instructions in the documentation on how to set up and configure Google Authentication for the application.
Provide clear instructions on how to test the authentication endpoints and verify the functionality.
