Objective: To implement and configure Flask libraries required for secure password hashing and JWT-based authentication, ensuring the application is equipped to handle user credentials and session management securely.
Details:
Library Installation:
Use pip to install Flask-Bcrypt and Flask-JWT-Extended for password hashing and token-based session management.
Library Configuration:
Initialize bcrypt and JWT within the Flask application by importing and setting up configurations:
Configure the JWT secret key in the app settings (app.config['JWT_SECRET_KEY'] = 'your_secret_key') to ensure tokens are securely
signed.
Initialize the bcrypt and JWT libraries in the Flask app for integration with user sign-up and sign-in routes.
Format and Styling:
Document each configuration in the code with comments to outline the importance of these settings for future reference.
Structure the configuration settings in a separate config file if the application is complex, aiding in streamlined management.
Next Steps:
Test each library component to verify proper installation and secure configuration.
Confirm with the team that all configurations align with the security needs before moving to route development.
