Implement User Authentication System

[Somya2010]

Description

Develop a user authentication system that includes registration, login, and password reset functionality. Implement JWT (JSON Web Token) for secure user authentication.

Steps to Implement

1. Create a registration endpoint (POST /auth/register) that accepts user details and stores them securely in the database.
2. Implement login functionality (POST /auth/login) that returns a JWT token upon successful authentication.
3. Add password reset functionality (POST /auth/reset-password).
4. Protect private routes using JWT authentication middleware.

Expected Outcome

Users can register, log in, and reset passwords securely. Private routes will be protected by JWT authentication.
