Description
New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
- I am not disclosing a vulnerability.

Current Limitation
Having the dashboard set up without user authentication is extremely problematic, as it exposes all Parse Server classes, masterKey, etc.
Feature / Enhancement Description
Add SecurityChecks to check that dashboard has users set up with encrypted password and MFA, dev is set to false.

Research direction
Start by locating the dashboard configuration entry point and the existing SecurityChecks implementation in parse-server. Determine how checks can verify encrypted passwords, MFA, and dev being false; done means dashboard configurations lacking these protections are detected and reported consistently.
