Adding LogIn via OTP

[Abhigaba]

To enhance the user login experience, I can create a login using otp system making the website more intuitive.

@Abhigaba just elaborate more on how you are goinh to implement and which libraries/ packages you are going to use

[Abhigaba]

There are two ways :

1. Via SMS, it can implemented by using firebase or a third party service like twilio. (Firebase will be free but not twillio)
2. Via Email, using nodemailer library in the backend to send the email and verifying the otp.

@soham0005 , depending on the requirements it can be imlpemented in both ways.

@Abhigaba you can start working on it, you can use any of the method which is free of cost

[soham0005]

@AdibaNaushad, raise another issue for the documentation you mentioned, i'll assign it to you

[soham0005]

@Abhigaba any updates?

[Abhigaba]

@soham0005 , yes I have created the backend part and will be opening the pr for it in a minute. It is successfully running and tested on postman.

Before merging add these things in the .env file

1. OAUTH_CLIENTID,
2. OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET,
3. OAUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN

you can get these if you follow this "https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/use-nodemailer-to-send-emails-from-your-node-js-server/"

Will do the frontend part tomorrow.
