+## User Authentication
+
+The application includes a complete user authentication system using Flask-Login and bcrypt:
+
+**Authentication Pages:**
+- `/register` - User registration with email and password
+- `/login` - User login with "remember me" functionality
+- `/logout` - User logout
+
+**Security Features:**
+- Passwords hashed with bcrypt and salt
+- Session-based authentication via Flask-Login
+- Protected routes with `@login_required` decorator
+- User-specific data isolation (multi-tenant architecture)
+- Secure password requirements (minimum 8 characters)
+- Flash messages for all auth actions
+- Redirect to requested page after login
+
+**First Time Setup:**
+1. Start the application
+2. Navigate to http://localhost:5000/register
+3. Create an account
+4. Login and start subscribing to channels
+
+**User Data Isolation:**
+- Each user can only see their own channels and videos
+- Channels are scoped by user_id
+- All routes filter data by current_user.id
+- Users cannot access other users' content
+
 ## Frontend Interface
 
 The application includes a full-featured web interface built with Jinja2 templates:
 
-**Pages:**
+**Pages:** (all require authentication)
-- `/` - Dashboard showing all videos sorted by date (newest first)
+- `/` - Dashboard showing user's videos sorted by date (newest first)
-- `/channels` - Channel management page with refresh functionality
+- `/channels` - User's channel management page with refresh functionality
 - `/add-channel` - Form to subscribe to new YouTube channels
 - `/watch/<video_id>` - Video player page for watching downloaded videos
