Welcome to the Flask Authentication App! This app empowers users to register and log in with ease. It incorporates advanced features like password hashing and CSRF protection for enhanced security.

## 🚀 Get Started!

```bash

# 1. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

# 2. Run the app

python app.py

```

## 📁 File Structure

```bash

.

├── app.py

├── data_storage.py

├── forms.py

├── helpers.py

├── static

│   └── style.css

├── templates

│   └── index.html

└── users.json

```

## 🧐 Code Breakdown

- `app.py`: Contains the main Flask application code, including routes for registration, login, and logout.

- `data_storage.py`: Manages the storage of user data. Supports both JSON and MongoDB as data storage methods.

- `forms.py`: Defines WTForms for user registration and login.

- `helpers.py`: Provides functions for hashing and checking passwords.

- `static/style.css`: Contains the CSS styling for the application.

- `templates/index.html`: The HTML file for the user interface.

- `users.json`: JSON file used to store user data when using JSON as the data storage method.

## 🔮 Future Plans

We have exciting plans for the future! Expect features like email verification and account recovery to be added soon.

## 💽 Database Choices

1. **JSON**: Quick and easy setup, perfect for smaller applications. Data is stored in a JSON file (`users.json`).

2. **MongoDB**: Offers scalability and robust querying capabilities. Requires a MongoDB instance to be running.
