public abstract class User
extends Object

Abstract base class representing a user in the BTO system.

This class serves as the foundation for all user types in the system, providing common attributes and functionality shared by all users regardless of their specific role. User authentication, personal details, and role-based access control are managed through this class hierarchy.

All users in the system have basic identifying information including NRIC, name, age, and marital status. Authentication is handled through password hashing for security.
