I. Title:
Implement User Authentication System
II. Description:
As a product development team, we need to implement a robust and secure user authentication system to allow users to securely access their accounts and protect their personal information. This system will support multiple authentication methods, including email/password, social media login, and two-factor authentication (2FA), ensuring that users can log in conveniently and safely. The authentication system will also include account recovery options, such as password reset and account lockout mechanisms, to enhance security and user experience.
III. Acceptance Criteria:
-
Email/Password Authentication:
-
Users must be able to register with a unique email address and password.
-
Passwords must be encrypted and stored securely.
-
Users must be able to log in using their registered email and password.
-
Password strength must be enforced according to industry standards (e.g., minimum length, complexity).
-
-
Social Media Login Integration:
-
Users must be able to log in using popular social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Google, Twitter).
-
OAuth 2.0 protocol must be used for secure social media login.
-
Social media login options must be available on both the web and mobile platforms.
-
-
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):
-
Users must have the option to enable 2FA for their accounts.
-
2FA must support both SMS-based and app-based authentication (e.g., Google Authenticator).
-
Users must receive a notification or prompt to enter a verification code when 2FA is enabled.
-
-
Account Recovery:
-
Users must be able to reset their password via a secure email link.
-
The system must prevent repeated failed login attempts by locking the account temporarily.
-
Users must receive notifications for account-related activities, such as password changes or account lockouts.
-
-
Security and Compliance:
-
The authentication system must comply with relevant security standards and regulations effective as of 2050 and beyond (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
-
All sensitive data must be encrypted during transmission and storage.
-
-
Scalability and Performance:
-
The system must be able to handle up to 10,000 simultaneous logins without performance degradation.
-
The architecture must be designed to scale horizontally to support future growth.
-
