Project: User Registration and Login System with Profile Management and Email Verification

Overview

This repository contains the source code for a pure MVC web application that provides user registration, login, profile management, and token-based email verification. The application also sends emails during account registration and deletion. Everything is built from scratch, with no external packages or libraries.

Features

• User Registration: Allows users to register by providing a firstname, lastname, email, and password.
• Login: Users can log in with their registered email and password.
• Email Verification: Token-based email verification to confirm the user's email address after registration.
• Profile Management: Logged-in users can update their profile information, such as email.
• Email Notifications: Sends an email upon registration and another when an account is deleted.
