User Settings - Account Informations #57
Description
Objective
Currently, a user of the software does not have the option to update any account information or delete their accounts. This feature will have this option. The schemas for the back end are available. Only the front end needs to be implemented.
The fields that we can update include:
- username
- first name
- last name
- password
Design
Username
The usernames are unique in the database. This means that user will have to get a confirmation if their new username is available or not. For now, it can be by showing an error when trying to update it. Perhaps, the update for the username should be a standalone form to make it easier and avoid having to renter everything when changing multiple fields, or something similar to what we have for password validation.
Password
Changing the password requires typing the old password and typing the new password twice to confirm it.
Delete Account
User must be able to delete their account. When deleting, a confirmation with information as to what will happen (everything will be permanently deleted) must be shown and confirmed by the user (password required to do this action)
