Technical Assessment: Laravel Fingerprint Authentication

Objective: Create a web application using Laravel that enables users to capture their fingerprint during registration and subsequently use the same fingerprint for authentication during login.

• Store the user's fingerprint securely.
• Implement user authentication functionality where users can log in using their email/password combination or fingerprint.
• Enable users to choose between traditional login (email/password) or fingerprint authentication.
• Ensure that fingerprint data is securely validated during login.
• Implement appropriate error handling and validation to ensure data integrity and security.
• Develop a clean and user-friendly interface for registration and login forms.
• Use Laravel's built-in authentication and database functionalities.
• Write clear documentation explaining the project setup, usage instructions, and any additional notes.

Evaluation Criteria: Candidates will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Code versioning and commit in GitHub
• Implementation of user registration and authentication functionalities.
• Proper storage and handling of fingerprint data.
• Security measures implemented to protect sensitive user information.
• Code quality, readability, and adherence to Laravel best practices.

• The project should prioritize security and data privacy throughout the implementation.
• Candidates are free to use any additional Laravel packages or libraries that they deem necessary for the project.
