🔐 Authentication

Default Admin Accounts

Username	Password	Status
friend_cafe	SuperSecure123!	✅ Recommended
admin	admin123	🔄 From seed script

⚠️ Change both passwords before production!

Create New Admin

cd server
npm run create-admin -- username StrongPassword123!

How It Works

1. Admin enters credentials
2. Password validated against bcrypt hash
3. JWT token issued (24-hour expiry)
4. Token sent with each protected request
5. Server validates token → grants access

🐛 Troubleshooting

"Can't connect to MongoDB"

# Check connection string
echo $MONGODB_URI
# Verify IP whitelist in MongoDB Atlas
# Check database exists

"Admin login not working"

# Verify admin exists in database
npm run create-admin -- friend_cafe SuperSecure123!
# Check password is correct
# Verify JWT_SECRET in .env

"Emails not sending"

# Check SMTP configuration in .env
# For Gmail: Use app password (not regular password)
# Check recipient email valid
# Look for error in server logs

"Orders disappearing"

# Check browser network tab for 201 response
# Verify data in MongoDB
# Check admin can see orders
# Try refreshing

See full troubleshooting in TESTING.md.
