Backend User Authentication Application

Welcome !, This Node.js application provides a robust backend solution for user authentication, built with Express and MongoDB. If you're developing a web application, this backend offers secure user authentication features to ensure your users' data remains protected.

Features

User Registration: Allow users to sign up for an account with a unique username and password.
User Login: Enable users to securely log in to their accounts using their credentials.
Password Encryption: Implement secure password encryption to protect user data.
Rate Limiting: Reduces the number of times a particular user can attempt to log in.

Prerequisites

Before running the application, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) Installed
MongoDB atlas account

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Bishopukpai/YT-Nodejs-auth-system.git

Navigate to the project directory:

cd YT-Nodejs-auth-system
```
Install dependencies:
