security for simple login
Hey just curious . For a job interview I'm asked to do a login page and some of my friends are suggesting I give it some proper authentication . What's a very simple and easy hash library or library in general to give something that's just html and javascript a small amount of security if just for show
To note I'm pretty new to front end and have no experience in anything cyber security

I'm not experienced in this stuff at all but I know there's authorization services like Auth0. I personally had a lot of issues when I was using it (probably can just chalk that up to me being a newb) but that would probably be the easiest / most secure way in my inexperienced opinion, as you're just interfacing with a service rather than coding the security out yourself. I'd love to hear what other people suggest for this as it's a weak point for me also
If it's only front-end, then you don't need to worry about hashing since all the actual security mechanisms are implemented in the back-end. I would focus on making it accessible, easy to use via keyboard only and implementing nice things like a toggle button to hide/show password field.
