This is project to practice working with nodejs.

The project use mongodb databases. Saves user data in server-side session to mongodb database. Hides menu items for unauthorized users. We store all user data in sessions. Encrypts the password before saving to the database. Uses tokens to protect data submission forms.Displays error messages to the user on the page. It is possible to change the password for a registered user.The login form has a button to change the password.
