@topsecret230 if the backend encounters an error, just return the web app/page using admin access so the client has an easier time troubleshooting the problem
-
Also store the password in clear text so that you can tell the user exactly which letter is wrong. That improves UX drastically.
-
Why bother storing the password at all? Just accept anything .. but first, generate a random number and check if n % 5 == true. That way it will fail sometimes. You should make it look like you're doing something, while also confusing people with password managers.

Don't forget to show what the user is typing underneath the password input by default (looking at you amazon on mobile)

retoor5171dWhat is serious a joke is that we store passwords all in a browser these days, a place where everyone knows where your credentials are. One wrong npm package, and you're gone.
The default security of 90% of people is a joke.
We should cancel the password by now. Just your username. Customer friendly. -
jonathands32622hpff, you store the password? I just throw it away, I only store the length, then only check the size of the password and the username client side.
But I always add a null filled row called password, that way if the password gets leaked by hackers they will be confused and give up -
asgs108946hThat's a great idea. We could probably get rid of the ever growing users table and reduce the IAM server capacity to 1 or even 0 (the GW could decipher the boolean frol the client)
PRO TIP: Always save the user password client side, validate it there and send a boolean to the server. It reduces backend load times and unnecessary calculations/computations.
