Welcome to the Authentication API documentation! This section provides comprehensive information about our authentication services, which are essential for securing your applications.

Features
- User Registration: Register new users with secure password hashing and email verification.
- User Login: Authenticate users with username and password.
- Session Management: Create, retrieve, and invalidate user sessions.
