Description

Add rate limiting to prevent abuse and protect the API from brute-force attacks by limiting the number of requests a user can make within a given timeframe.

Steps to Implement

  1. Install and configure the express-rate-limit package.
  2. Set up rate limits for key API routes (e.g., login, registration).
  3. Ensure that error messages are returned when limits are exceeded.

Expected Outcome

Users can make a limited number of requests per time period, improving security.
