Implement Login with XXX Software (TBD)

[ThePyProgrammer]

Some options (we have more freedom since anonymous):

• Firebase RTDB
• Firebase Firestore
• MongoDB (if there's a decent free plan)
• Supabase!

Data to get from User (on Sign Up):

• (Nick)Name of Personnel (name: string)
• Password as a Hash? Something to login in a secure manner? Tapping at @achrinza to help with this, or we can just use a proper OAuth provider
• Age (age: number)
• Gender (gender: string, one of Male and Female)
• Type of Service (tos: string, one of NSF or Regular)

Data to track from User (Analytics):

• Repeated Logins (store logins?)
• Features Clicked On and Accessed (store actions??)

Potential Architecture for Analytics:

actions: {
    type: "login" | "click",
    (type == "click"): {
        activityName: string,
        entry: Date,
        exit: Date
    }
}

Note: 15 MINUTES SESSION TIMEOUT! (MINDEF Standard)

I'm leaning towards using an off-the-shelf OAuth provider like Firebase Authentication (via React Native Firebase) or Auth0 for the time being. That way we don't have to roll our own protocol upfront.

I suspect we'll still need to use a database (e.g. Firebase RTDB / Firestore / others) to store the other user attributes.
