smtp:
   server: smtp.gmail.com
   port: 587
   use_tls: true
   username: your_email@gmail.com
   password: YOUR_APP_PASSWORD

5. Run the Streamlit App:

   streamlit run login.py

Configuration File

The config.yaml file contains configuration details essential for the app. It stores user credentials (hashed) and SMTP details for email notifications. It's crucial to ensure this file is kept secure, especially when working with real credentials.

Features

• User Authentication Securely log in with bycrpty-hased pashwords
• Password Reset Allows users to reset their passwords
• Username Retrieval In case a user forgets their username, the app orvides a retrieval mechanism
• User Registration New users can register and thier details are securely stored

Usage

• Login/Register: Use the provided interface on the app's homepage.
• Forgot Password: If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" option. Your new password will be emailed to you.
• Forgot Username: If you forget your username, use the "Forgot Username" option. Your username will be emailed to you.

Security

Warning Never use your main Gmail password in the 'config.yaml'. Always use the app password generated from Google. Though each password is encrypted, it is still hackable. Warn users to be careful with what passwords they are using!
