Contributor guide

Research direction
Research best practices for secure authentication over HTTP. Focus on why sending credentials in the request body is unsafe without HTTPS (plaintext transmission, man in the middle). Explore alternatives such as HTTPS only, token based authentication (JWT, OAuth2), and secure cookie storage.
