Node.JS User Login Boilerplate

** Work in progress **

This is a boilerplate express and angular application which creates a bare application containing the most common user authentication features. Examples include:

• sign up with facebook, google or manual
• email activation of account (manual sign up)
• remember me
• forgot password email
• edit profile

The boilerplate application requires REDIS for sessions and mongoDB for the user information.

Influenced from many different github repo's and online tutorial.
