Authentication

Initial file setup for login/signup of user using passport.js and express. Also includes OAuth2 authentication.

Previous Commits

The previous commits use different authentication methods such as:

1. Using Mongoose encryption
2. Hashing using md5
3. Hashing and Salting with bcrypt
4. Cookies and Sessions using passport.js

The recent HEAD points to OAuth2 Authentication from third party applications.

You can always go to a previous commit and use that particular authentication method.
