Concepts

Authentication 和 authorization 经常被实现在同套 authentication system 中。

  • Authentication 指认证,通常是用户用帐号名密码登录的过程
  • Authorization 指授权,表示用户有无权限执行某操作,访问某资源等
Note
我对 authorization 了解甚少。目前看 authentication 跟 authorization 的关联可能不大。后面考虑把这两块内容拆分。

Tasks

  • Register:
    • Username and email validation
    • Password strength requirement
