# 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
   - Forced to change password immediately
   - ChangePasswordDialog appears (non-dismissible)
   - After password change, redirected to dashboard

2. **Application Access**:
   - 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
```json
"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
```json
"remember_me": "Ține Parola Minte",
"login": {
  "loginHere": "Autentificare Aici!",
  "login": "AUTENTIFICARE",
  "dontHaveAccount": "Nu ai un cont? Creează-ți contul",
  "createAccountHere": "aici!",
  "registrationDisabled": "Înregistrarea este momentan dezactivată. Te rugăm să contactezi un administrator pentru a-ți crea contul."
}
```

### ✅ Complete Translation Coverage
All UI elements translated:
- Form labels (username, password)
- Button text (LOGIN/AUTENTIFICARE)
- Error messages (all scenarios)
- Informational text (registration disabled message)
- Checkbox labels (Remember Password)
- Link text (create account here)

## PWA Compatibility

### ✅ Service Worker
- **Skips API requests**: Authentication requests always hit the server
- **Skips streaming URLs**: M3U8 and TS files not cached
- **Caches static assets**: HTML, CSS, JS, images cached for offline
- **Cache versioning**: `streamflow-v1` cache name for updates
- **Background sync**: Ready for future playlist sync features
- **Push notifications**: Ready for future notification features

### ✅ Manifest
- **Start URL**: `/` (redirects to login if not authenticated)
- **Display**: `standalone` (full-screen app experience)
- **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
- **Safe areas**: Respects device notches and safe zones

## Deployment Notes

### ✅ Environment Variables
```bash
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
NODE_ENV=production                  # For optimizations
```

**Note**: Set `DISABLE_SIGNUPS=false` in docker-compose.yml or .env if you want to enable public user registration.

### ✅ 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
