+FRONTEND LOGIN DEBUGGING GUIDE
+========================================
+
+The backend API is working perfectly! ✅
+Now we need to check what's happening in the frontend.
+
+STEP 1: Open Browser Developer Tools
+========================================
+1. Start the frontend if not running:
+   cd D:\Hosted\familyhub\frontend
+   npm run dev
+
+2. Open browser to: http://localhost:5173
+
+3. Press F12 to open Developer Tools
+
+4. Click on the "Console" tab
+
+5. Try to login:
+   Username: jess
+   Password: password123
+
+STEP 2: Check for Errors
+========================================
+Look for RED error messages in the console.
+
+Common errors to look for:
+
+❌ CORS Error:
+   "Access to fetch at 'http://localhost:8001' from origin 'http://localhost:5173' 
+    has been blocked by CORS policy"
+   
+   FIX: Check backend .env file has:
+   ALLOWED_ORIGINS=http://localhost:5173,http://127.0.0.1:5173
+
+❌ Network Error:
+   "Failed to fetch" or "net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"
+   
+   FIX: Make sure backend is running (start-backend.bat)
+
+❌ 401 Unauthorized:
+   This would mean password is wrong (but we tested it works!)
+
+STEP 3: Check Network Tab
+========================================
+1. In Developer Tools, click "Network" tab
+
+2. Try to login again
+
+3. Look for the POST request to:
+   http://localhost:8001/api/v1/auth/login
+
+4. Click on it and check:
+   - Status Code: Should be 200
+   - Response: Should show {"access_token": "...", "token_type": "bearer"}
+   - If Status is 401: Check Request payload (username/password)
+   - If Status is 404: URL is wrong
+   - If no request appears: Frontend not sending request
+
+WHAT TO REPORT:
+========================================
+Please copy and paste:
+1. Any RED errors from Console tab
+2. The status code of the /api/v1/auth/login request
+3. The response body from Network tab
+
+This will tell us exactly what's wrong!
