User Story: User Registration

Title:

User Registration

Description:

As a new user, I want to be able to register on the platform by providing my personal information so that I can create an account and access the platform's features.

Acceptance Criteria:

1. Registration Form:

   • The registration page should include fields for entering name, email, and password.
   • The email field should be validated to ensure it is in the correct format.
   • The password field should enforce minimum security requirements, such as length and complexity.
   • Optional fields like phone number and address should be available for the user to fill out.

2. Email Confirmation:

   • After submitting the registration form, the system should send a confirmation email to the provided email address.
   • The email should contain a unique link to verify the user's email address.
   • Clicking the link should activate the user's account and allow them to log in.

3. Error Handling:

   • If the email address is already associated with an existing account, the user should be notified and prompted to log in or reset their password.
   • If required fields are not filled out or do not meet validation criteria, the user should receive an error message indicating what needs to be corrected.

4. Successful Registration:

   • Upon successful registration and email confirmation, the user should be redirected to a welcome page or the login page.
   • The system should create a new user record in the database with the provided information.

Definition of Done:

• The user registration form is fully implemented and can be accessed from the platform's homepage.
• Email confirmation functionality is in place and correctly verifies user accounts.
• The system properly handles errors and edge cases, ensuring a smooth registration process.
• All new user information is securely stored in the database.
• The registration process is thoroughly tested and documented.

Additional Notes:
