Testing APIs using POSTMAN

Endpoint: /api/v1/usermng/signup

Storing the username, email, password. Password is stored using encryption including salts and hashing technique. Hashing is irreversible therefore, the password once stored cannot be decrypted again.

Endpoint: /api/v1/usermng/signin

Checking the email and password from the database. If the email and password matches, then the user is logged in. Else the error message is returned.

Endpoint: /api/v1/usermng/forgetPassword

There are different techniques for forget password or reset password like token using JWT(JSON Web Token) or OTP(One Time Password). I used a simple way to identify the user, by asking the user about the data we have like its username or DoB for authorization, then email user the new password.

Endpoint: /api/v1/usermng/resetPassword

Checking the email and password from the database. If the email and password matches, then setting the new_password. Else the error message is returned.
