How can I design and develop the login functionality of a platform similar to bet365?

In the context of selenium, here is how you can do so:-

User authentication system design

You can use a robust authentication mechanism such as OAuth2.0, to secure user authentication. You can use multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security.

Database schema

You can create a database schema for storing the user credentials securely.

Front-end implementation

You can design a user-friendly login form with input fields for the username, e-mail, and password. You can also implement client-side validation to ensure data integrity.

Backend development

You can use a server-side framework such as Node.js with express Django, or Spring Boot for handling the login request and authentication logic.

Here is an example given of node.js backend implementation by using express and JWT for user authentication:-

Const express = require(‘express’);

Const bcrypt = require(‘bcryptjs’);

Const jwt = require(‘jsonwebtoken’);

Const app = express();

App.use(express.json());

// Sample user database

Const users = [

  { id: 1, username: ‘user1’, email: ‘user1@example.com’, passwordHash: ‘$2a$10$31DbvmXJFkGkCGfV3NMn6eEtcE7MfzTOD5TR9jvqqXwC.BNEP9FZm’ }, // hashed password: password1

  { id: 2, username: ‘user2’, email: ‘user2@example.com’, passwordHash: ‘$2a$10$t5/d2C.5tItk97/VjAfKuutQaGVWS2Wl2PHsCw25mLTKuJVs/6Q3a’ }, // hashed password: password2

];

// Login endpoint

App.post(‘/api/login’, (req, res) => {

  Const { username, password } = req.body;

  Const user = users.find(u => u.username === username);

  If (!user || !bcrypt.compareSync(password, user.passwordHash)) {

    Return res.status(401).json({ error: ‘Invalid username or password’ });

  }

  // Generate JWT token

  Const token = jwt.sign({ id: user.id, username: user.username }, ‘secret-key’, { expiresIn: ‘1h’ });

  Res.json({ token });

});

// Protected route example

App.get(‘/api/protected’, authenticateToken, (req, res) => {

  Res.json({ message: ‘Protected route accessed successfully’ });

});

// Middleware to authenticate JWT token

Function authenticateToken(req, res, next) {

  Const authHeader = req.headers[‘authorization’];

  Const token = authHeader && authHeader.split(‘ ‘)[1];

  If (!token) {

    Return res.status(401).json({ error: ‘Unauthorized’ });

  }

  Jwt.verify(token, ‘secret-key’, (err, user) => {

    If (err) {

      Return res.status(403).json({ error: ‘Invalid token’ });

    }

    Req.user = user;

    Next();

  });

}

// Start server

Const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

App.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`));
