Welcome to the Django Login Backend project.
This repository demonstrates how to implement user authentication in Django, including login, logout, and session management.
It is not intended for production use. The goal is to help you understand Django’s authentication system by practice.
This project is a minimal backend application built with Django to showcase:
- User authentication flow: login, logout, and session handling.
- Secure password storage using Django’s built‑in hashing.
- Custom user model basics for flexibility.
- Clean project structure for clarity and learning.
- Error‑friendly setup so you can debug and grow.
Django provides:
- Built‑in security: protection against SQL injection, CSRF, and XSS.
- Ready‑to‑use auth system: user models, sessions, and password management.
- Scalability: works for small apps and large platforms.
- Community support: endless tutorials, packages, and extensions.
- Login & Logout endpoints: Learn how Django handles user sessions.
- Password hashing demo: Understand why plain text passwords are unsafe.
- Custom user model example: Extend Django’s default user for flexibility.
- Simple views & templates: See how backend logic connects to frontend.
By exploring this project, you will:
- Understand Django’s authentication system.
- Practice debugging and troubleshooting login errors.
- Learn how to organize backend projects with clarity.
- Gain confidence to build your own secure login system.
