🔧 Update Admin Dashboard and Authentication Flow

✅ Updated Admin Dashboard URL:
- Changed the Admin Dashboard access path from `/admin` to `/manage` in multiple files for consistency.

✅ Enhanced Middleware Authentication:
- Updated middleware to protect new admin routes including `/manage` and `/dashboard`.

✅ Implemented CSRF Protection:
- Added CSRF token generation and validation for login and session validation routes.

✅ Introduced Rate Limiting:
- Added rate limiting for admin routes and CSRF token requests to enhance security.

✅ Refactored Admin Page:
- Created a new admin management page with improved authentication handling and user feedback.

🎯 Overall Improvements:
- Strengthened security measures for admin access.
- Improved user experience with clearer navigation and feedback.
- Streamlined authentication processes for better performance.
