💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with InnoCaptcha
Create a mini-application that serves as a web-based user authentication system with enhanced security features using the InnoCaptcha package. This application should include the following functionalities:

1. User Registration: Users can sign up by providing their username, email, and password. Upon registration, they must pass a CAPTCHA challenge to ensure they are not bots.
2. User Login: After successful registration, users can log into their accounts using their credentials. Again, a CAPTCHA challenge should be presented to verify human interaction.
3. Account Recovery: Implement a secure account recovery process where users can reset their passwords via email after passing a CAPTCHA verification.
4. Admin Panel: Provide an admin interface to manage users, view login attempts, and monitor CAPTCHA challenges.
5. CAPTCHA Customization: Allow the admin to customize the CAPTCHA challenges (e.g., changing between image, math, or custom types).
6. Token-Based Security: Utilize InnoCaptcha's token-based security feature to protect API endpoints from unauthorized access.
7. Multiple Storage Backends: Integrate InnoCaptcha's support for multiple storage backends to store CAPTCHA tokens securely.
8. Logging and Monitoring: Log all CAPTCHA interactions and provide real-time monitoring of login attempts and CAPTCHA success rates.

To achieve these functionalities, you will need to leverage the core features of the InnoCaptcha package such as its various challenge types, token management, and customizable storage options. Ensure that your application is well-documented and includes instructions on how to install dependencies and run the app locally.
