As a dev, I want to transition to JWT for a more reliable authentication system

[k-allagbe]

Description

Context
Our current authentication system uses Basic Auth and doesn't follow modern standards. While security isn't the main focus, we need a more reliable way to handle user authentication that aligns with standard practices. Moving to JWT will help us manage authentication in a more respectable and scalable way.

Problem Statement
The current system doesn't manage user credentials or sessions effectively. We want to switch to JWT to improve how authentication is handled, focusing on better session management without overcomplicating security. The goal is to implement a functional and modern authentication system.

Acceptance Criteria

• Replace the current Basic Auth system with JWT-based authentication.
• Properly handle user credentials, ensuring reliable token generation and management.
• Implement token expiration and refresh processes to maintain session validity.
• Integrate JWT smoothly into the application, improving the overall user experience with authentication.
