Today's focus in my coding journey was to enhance the user experience by refining the Google OAuth authentication flow for both user types in my application. I aimed to create a seamless authentication process that provides users with a quick and secure way to sign up and log in
.
Building upon the previously implemented Google OAuth using Passport.js, I concentrated on fine-tuning the sign-in process by searching the database for existing users. If a user is not found in the database after signing in through their Google account, they are redirected back to the homepage to complete the sign-up process. This ensures that new users can easily sign up while existing users are directed to their respective dashboards without any additional steps.
To further improve the user experience, I transitioned from the default redirect-based authentication to a pop-up window. This change allows users to authenticate without leaving the main application window, offering a more seamless and intuitive flow. Now, users can sign up and log in using their Google accounts without being taken away from the application, making the process much more efficient and enjoyable.
Moving forward, I plan to work on the sign-up path, ensuring that new users can register quickly and effortlessly. By continuously refining the user experience, I hope to create an application that is both user-friendly and secure.
