By incorporating these widely used authentication methods, the project aims to streamline the login process for users, thereby enhancing user accessibility and improving security measures.Problem Statement:Currently, users of the Agora Tutoring platform must go through a traditional account creation process that requires them to manually enter personal details to register. This method can be time-consuming and poses a barrier to quick access. Moreover, managing separate usernames and passwords for multiple platforms can discourage potential users due to the inconvenience and increased risk of security breaches.
