About MERN Authetication
Continuing to use the MERN stack, this project was about creating a sophisticated authentication program that would talk to the Mongo database, record new users, use salt and hashing techniques to protect the password. The application then needed to retrieve and unhash passwords upon logging in. The application user randomly generated salt, combined with password. All that is then hashed using SHA-256 algorithm.
