Signin-Signup Template

This project is a basic signin/signup website template built using Node.js, Express, EJS, and MongoDB. It provides a simple user authentication system with integrated JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for session management. This template can be used as a starting point for building user authentication features in your own projects.

• User signup and login functionality.
• Password encryption using bcrypt.
• Session management with JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
• Integration with MongoDB for data storage.
