User Registration:
    Registration endpoint to create new user accounts.
    Validation of user-provided information (e.g., email format, password strength).
    Password hashing for securely storing passwords in the database.
    Captcha or reCAPTCHA integration to prevent automated bot registrations.

Registration Confirmation:
    Sending confirmation emails with a unique token or link to verify user email addresses.
    Endpoint to handle email confirmation and activate user accounts.

Delete Old/Inactive Accounts:
    Implement a mechanism to identify and delete accounts that have been inactive for a certain period.
    Send notifications to users about the upcoming deletion if desired.

Forgot Password:
    Endpoint to initiate the password reset process.
    Sending password reset emails with a unique token or link.
    Password reset endpoint to validate the token and allow users to set a new password.

Login:
    Authentication endpoint to verify user credentials (username/email and password).
    Generating access tokens upon successful login for subsequent authorized API calls.
    Token expiration and refresh mechanism to enhance security.
    Implement JWT (JSON Web Tokens) or OAuth for token-based authentication.

Token Management:
    Store tokens securely (e.g., use HttpOnly cookies for session management).
    Implement token revocation (e.g., for "logout" functionality) and blacklisting if needed.
    Manage token expiration and renewal.

User Profile:
    Allow users to update their profile information (e.g., name, email, profile picture).
    Ensure proper validation and sanitization of user inputs.

Security Measures:
    Implement HTTPS to encrypt data transmitted between clients and the server.
    Protection against common security threats (e.g., SQL injection, cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery).
    Implement rate limiting and IP banning to prevent brute force attacks.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
    Option to enable MFA for an extra layer of security.
    Integration with authentication apps (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy) or SMS-based MFA.

Audit Logging:
    Log significant authentication and authorization events for monitoring and troubleshooting.
    Monitor failed login attempts and potentially suspicious activities.

Session Management:
    Implement session timeouts and automatic logouts after a period of inactivity.
    Provide options to manually terminate active sessions.

User Roles and Permissions:
    Implement role-based access control (RBAC) to control user privileges.
    Define different user roles (e.g., admin, regular user) and associated permissions.

Privacy and Data Protection:
    Ensure compliance with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR).
    Implement mechanisms for users to request data access or deletion.

API Documentation and Testing:
    Provide comprehensive API documentation for developers who will integrate with your service.
    Set up automated testing for authentication and authorization workflows.

Monitoring and Analytics:
    Implement logging and monitoring tools to track API usage, errors, and performance.
    Gather analytics to understand user behavior and system performance.

Error Handling:
    Provide clear and informative error messages for various scenarios.
    Handle errors gracefully to prevent exposing sensitive information.

Localization and Internationalization:
    Support multiple languages and regions if your user base is diverse.

Notification System:
    Implement a system to notify users about important events (e.g., account activity, security alerts).

Social Authentication (Optional):
    Allow users to log in using their social media accounts (e.g., Google, Facebook).

Data Backup and Recovery:
    Regularly back up user data and have a plan for disaster recovery.
