What the project is?
SecureAuth is a modern authentication system supporting features like email/password login, email verification, password reset, and JWT-based session handling. It uses Passport.js for strategy-based authentication and JWT for token management.
Why I built this?
I built SecureAuth to deepen my understanding of Passport.js, JWT, and secure email-based flows. It also served as a base project to implement real-world authentication logic and improve backend/frontend auth syncing.
What problem it solves?
SecureAuth provides a clean, secure, and ready-to-use authentication system. It removes the need to repeatedly build boilerplate auth logic and ensures a scalable structure with JWT and Passport.js for access control.
Key Features
What I Learned / Challenges
Learned how to integrate Passport.js with Express and JWT, and handle custom strategies. Managed secure storage of refresh tokens, handled edge cases like token expiration, and created a seamless client-server auth experience.
