Description

Do you have any plans regarding authentication? I plan to use the GPS feature of the app to keep track of my phone when it's outside my home. But for that I will have to expose the server to the internet and right now everybody could create new families etc.

I would like to have an account with user/password (maybe even certificate) required in order to connect to the server and would prefer not to use my proxy server for that. What are your thoughts on that?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to add basic authentication (e.g., username/password) to the find3 server. Look at existing middleware or popular Go authentication libraries like bcrypt for password hashing, and consider session or token based authentication.
