1. Email Verification Feature Development

• Objective: To implement a robust email verification system to confirm the user’s identity during the registration process.
• Tasks:
  1. Design the Email Verification Flow:
     • Create a system where a verification email is sent to the user immediately after they register with their email address.
     • The email should include a unique verification link/token to validate their account.
  2. Develop Email Content Templates:
     • Draft and design clear and user-friendly email templates with verification instructions.
  3. Integrate the Verification System:
     • Develop the backend logic to send verification emails via an SMTP service (such as SendGrid or Mailgun).
     • Ensure the link within the email expires after a set period (e.g., 24 hours) for security.
  4. Verify User Account:
     • Upon clicking the verification link, the user’s account should be marked as “verified” in the system, enabling full access.
     • Ensure the system logs any failed verification attempts for tracking purposes.
• Expected Outcome:
  • Users will only be able to log in after successfully verifying their email, enhancing security and preventing fraudulent sign-ups.

2. Password Recovery Mechanism

• Objective: To provide users with a secure method to reset their password in case they forget it.
• Tasks:
  1. Create Password Recovery Interface:
     • Implement a “Forgot Password” link on the login page.
     • Design an intuitive UI for users to enter their email to receive a reset link.
  2. Reset Password Process:
     • Develop the backend logic for generating a secure, time-limited password reset link.
     • Include a unique token in the reset link that expires after a set time (e.g., 30 minutes).
  3. Develop Password Reset Form:
     • After clicking the reset link, users will be directed to a page to enter a new password.
     • Ensure the form requires strong password validation (e.g., at least 8 characters, one uppercase letter, and one special character).
  4. Send Confirmation Email:
     • Once the password is reset, send a confirmation email to the user notifying them of the change.
  5. Error Handling:
     • Implement logic to handle invalid or expired reset links and notify users accordingly.
• Expected Outcome:
  • Users can securely recover access to their accounts without compromising security.

3. Session Management Implementation

• Objective: To implement secure and efficient session management, ensuring that users stay logged in or are properly logged out when required.
• Tasks:
  1. Session Initiation:
     • After successful login, initiate a session and create a session token for each user.
     • Store session tokens securely in the database and/or session management storage.
  2. Session Timeout:
     • Implement automatic session expiration after a period of inactivity (e.g., 15 minutes of inactivity will log the user out).
  3. Secure Session Handling:
     • Ensure session tokens are encrypted and secure, preventing session hijacking and other threats.
     • Implement secure cookie attributes (e.g., HttpOnly, Secure) to prevent XSS attacks.
  4. Multiple Device Session Management:
     • Allow users to stay logged in on multiple devices but notify them when logging in on a new device.
     • Provide an option for users to log out of all devices from their profile settings.
  5. Session Termination:
     • Implement a “logout” function that ends the session immediately.
     • Clear session cookies and tokens from the user’s browser to prevent unauthorized access.
• Expected Outcome:
  • Secure session management will ensure a smooth user experience while preventing unauthorized access or session-based attacks.

4. Testing and Quality Assurance

• Objective: Ensure the developed features work seamlessly across different browsers and devices, meeting the highest standards of functionality and security.
• Tasks:
  1. Unit Testing:
     • Write unit tests for each feature, including email verification, password recovery, and session management, to ensure they work as expected.
  2. Integration Testing:
     • Test the interaction between the new features and the rest of the system, ensuring no conflicts or disruptions.
  3. Security Testing:
     • Perform penetration testing, especially around the email verification and password recovery systems, to detect any vulnerabilities.
  4. User Acceptance Testing (UAT):
     • Conduct UAT to gather feedback from a select group of users and ensure the features meet expectations.
  5. Cross-Device and Cross-Browser Testing:
     • Ensure the features are compatible with various browsers and devices (mobile, tablet, and desktop).
• Expected Outcome:
  • A bug-free, secure, and user-friendly system that meets the functional requirements.

5. Documentation and User Training

• Objective: To provide comprehensive documentation for end-users and system administrators on how to use the registration, login, and recovery features.
• Tasks:
  1. Develop User Documentation:
     • Write clear instructions for users on how to register, log in, recover their password, and manage their sessions.
  2. Create Admin Guidelines:
     • Provide system administrators with guidance on managing user accounts, resetting passwords, and monitoring session activity.
  3. Develop FAQs and Troubleshooting:
     • Create a list of common issues and solutions for users, such as problems with email verification or password recovery.
