Login Page Update - Complete Implementation

Overview

The login page has been completely redesigned to match the exact specifications provided, with comprehensive security checks and functionality verification.

Design Changes

Visual Design

  • Black left panel with StreamFlow logo (gradient purple to blue)
  • White right panel with login form
  • Rounded input fields with light gray background (#f7fafc)
  • Icon-enhanced inputs (person icon for username, lock icon for password)
  • Remember Password checkbox with purple accent
  • Dark gradient LOGIN button with arrow icon
  • Registration link that shows info message (registration disabled)
  • Responsive grid layout for mobile/desktop

Exact Specifications Matched

✅ Black background on left side (#000000) ✅ White background on right side (#ffffff) ✅ StreamFlow text in white, large and bold ✅ "Login Here!" heading in dark gray (#2d3748) ✅ Username and password fields with icons ✅ "Remember Password" checkbox ✅ Dark LOGIN button with uppercase text and arrow ✅ "Don't have an account? Create your account here!" text at bottom ✅ Rounded corners on all form elements (12px border-radius)

Security Verification

✅ Authentication Security

  1. Rate Limiting: 5 login attempts per 15 minutes
  2. Password Validation: Minimum 8 characters required
  3. JWT Tokens: 7-day expiration with secure signing
  4. Bcrypt Hashing: 10 rounds for password storage
  5. Account Status Check: Disabled accounts cannot login
  6. SQL Injection Protection: Parameterized queries throughout

✅ Registration Security

  1. Registration Disabled: Controlled by DISABLE_SIGNUPS=true environment variable
  2. POST /register: Returns 403 error when signups disabled (default)
  3. Admin-Only User Creation: Only admins can create users via /api/users
  4. Forced Password Change: New users must change password on first login
  5. Registration Link Handled: Shows informative error message instead of allowing registration
  6. Flexible Configuration: Set DISABLE_SIGNUPS=false to enable public registration if needed

✅ Route Protection

  1. Frontend Routes:

    • /login - Public route
    • /register - Redirects to /login (disabled)
    • / and all sub-routes - Protected (requires authentication)
    • All protected routes redirect to /login if not authenticated

  2. Backend Routes:

    • POST /api/auth/login - Public with rate limiting
    • POST /api/auth/register - Disabled (403 response)
    • POST /api/auth/change-password - Requires valid JWT
    • GET /api/auth/verify - Requires valid JWT
    • ALL /api/users/* - Requires admin role
    • ALL /api/playlists/* - Requires authentication
    • ALL /api/channels/* - Requires authentication

✅ Authorization Security

  1. Role-Based Access Control:

    • Admin users: Can access all features + user management
    • Regular users: Can access application features only
    • Inactive users: Cannot login or access any features

  2. Middleware Protection:

    • authenticate middleware: Verifies JWT token
    • requireAdmin middleware: Verifies admin role
    • All sensitive endpoints protected with both middlewares

Functionality Verification

✅ Admin User Flow

  1. First Login:

    • Login with admin / admin
    • Forced to change password immediately
    • ChangePasswordDialog appears (non-dismissible)
    • After password change, redirected to dashboard

  2. User Management:

    • Access Settings → User Management
    • Create new users with username, email, password, role
    • Edit user details (email, role, account status)
    • Reset user passwords (forces password change)
    • Delete users (with confirmations, cannot delete self or last admin)
    • Toggle account activation

  3. Application Features:

    • Full access to Live TV, Radio, Movies, Series
    • Access to all settings sections
    • Hardware acceleration settings
    • M3U library management

✅ Managed User Flow

  1. First Login:

    • Login with credentials provided by admin

    • Access Live TV, Radio, Movies, Series based on permissions
    • Access personal settings (appearance, language, account)
    • Cannot access User Management section (admin-only)
    • Cannot create or manage other users

  3. Account States:

    • Active: Can login and use application
    • Inactive: Cannot login, shows "Account is disabled" error
    • Password Reset: Must change password on next login

✅ Security Features in Action

  1. Invalid Credentials: Shows "Invalid credentials" error
  2. Disabled Account: Shows "Account is disabled. Contact an administrator." error
  3. Too Many Attempts: Shows "Too many login attempts, please try again later" error
  4. Registration Attempt: Shows "Registration is currently disabled. Please contact an administrator to create your account." error
  5. Token Expiration: Automatically logs out after 7 days
  6. Inactive Account Access: Blocked at both login and token verification

Translation Support

✅ English Translations

"remember_me": "Remember Password",
"login": {
  "loginHere": "Login Here!",
  "login": "LOGIN",
  "dontHaveAccount": "Don't have an account? Create your account",
  "createAccountHere": "here!",
  "registrationDisabled": "Registration is currently disabled. Please contact an administrator to create your account."
}

✅ Romanian Translations

"remember_me": "Ține Parola Minte",
"login": {
  "loginHere": "Autentificare Aici!",
  "login": "AUTENTIFICARE",
  "dontHaveAccount": "Nu ai un cont? Creează-ți contul",
  "createAccountHere": "aici!",

  • Icons: Multiple sizes (72x72 to 512x512) with gradient logo
  • Theme colors: Purple accent (#a855f7) matching login page
  • Orientation: any (supports all device orientations)

✅ Offline Behavior

  1. Online: Full functionality with live authentication
  2. Offline:
    • Shows cached login page
    • Login attempts fail gracefully with network error
    • Cached assets (icons, manifest) still available
    • Returns online: Automatically re-syncs authentication

Mobile Responsiveness

✅ Responsive Design

  • Desktop (md+): Side-by-side layout (black left, white right)
  • Mobile (xs-sm): Stacked layout (logo on top, form below)
  • Touch-friendly: All buttons and inputs sized for touch
  • Viewport optimized: Proper meta tags for mobile scaling
  • Grid system: Material-UI Grid for responsive breakpoints

✅ Mobile-Specific Features

  • Auto-zoom disabled: Input fields don't trigger zoom on focus
  • Touch gestures: Swipe, tap all work naturally
  • Keyboard handling: Virtual keyboard doesn't break layout
  • Portrait/landscape: Works in both orientations

Deployment Notes

✅ Environment Variables

JWT_SECRET=your_secure_secret_here  # Change in production!
SESSION_SECRET=your_secure_secret   # Change in production!
DISABLE_SIGNUPS=true                # Disable public registration (default: true)
DB_PATH=/app/data/streamflow.db     # Persistent volume

✅ Database Migration

  • Automatic migration on startup
  • Creates default admin if no users exist
  • Adds new columns if missing
  • No manual intervention required

✅ First Deployment Steps

  1. Build Docker image: docker compose build
  2. Start containers: docker compose up -d
  3. Access application: http://localhost:3000/login
  4. Login as admin: admin / admin
  5. Change password immediately
  6. Create additional admin/user accounts
  7. Configure settings (hardware acceleration, etc.)

Troubleshooting

Login Page Not Loading

  • Check browser console for errors
  • Verify Docker containers running: docker compose ps
  • Check frontend logs: docker compose logs frontend
  • Clear browser cache and reload

Login Fails with Valid Credentials

  • Check backend logs: docker compose logs backend
  • Verify database exists: docker compose exec backend ls -la /app/data/
  • Check user is active: Query database directly
  • Verify JWT_SECRET is set consistently

Registration Link Still Works

  • Should show error message, not allow registration
  • Check App.jsx has redirect in place
  • Check auth.js returns 403 for POST /register
  • Clear browser cache

Password Change Dialog Not Showing

  • Check authStore.mustChangePassword state
  • Verify backend returns must_change_password: true
  • Check ChangePasswordDialog import
  • Check user.must_change_password in database

Translations Not Working

  • Check i18n initialization
  • Verify translation files loaded
  • Check language selection in state
  • Reload page after language change
