I want to add a method to authenticate users, so that random people on the internet can't see all the funny things my friends and I are saying. For instance:

"The only thing up my sleeves are my arms."

• A random person

Here are a few of my thoughts on the process:

• Use @node-rs/argon2 for password hashing
• Follow alongside the OWASP Password Storage Cheat Sheet
• Create a User type in the schema that stores the password
• Consider using app.config.ts to toggle off authentication at build time
• Consider configuring password peppering with runtimeConfig
