This project implements a secure and robust user authentication system in Django, featuring email registration with strong password constraints. Users can log in with their credentials, and in case of forgotten passwords, the system offers an OTP-based email verification process. The OTP is valid for 40 seconds, with a limit of three resend attempts.

To enhance performance, Celery is used to handle email notifications and OTP delivery asynchronously, reducing delays caused by the SMTP server. The system also integrates middleware for added security, ensuring safe access to all pages and information.
