Authentication Module

An Authentication Module handles user identity verification, typically using JWT, OAuth, or sessions, integrated into backend frameworks for secure access control.

It often includes registration, login, password reset, and role-based authorization.

Integrate an Auth Module when:

• Building user-facing applications with personal data.
• Requiring secure API endpoints for logged-in users.
• Implementing social logins or multi-factor auth.
• Ensuring compliance with standards like GDPR.

Note: Always use HTTPS and secure cookies for session auth.

Implement rate limiting on login endpoints.
