Protection of user credentials in web application

Abstract

Protecting user data in web applications is a challenge that developers face. Enabling secure user login and overcoming vulnerabilities without exposing sensitive data to attackers, is based on the application of modern methods and techniques for protection. This paper first reviews the current situation in this area with an emphasis on important security features. Then, the available systems are evaluated and the obtained results are quantified, from where their advantages and disadvantages can be seen. Another goal of the paper is a deeper insight into the field of user data security. Special attention is given to the importance of password protection for access in web applications.
