JWT Authentication Tutorial - Node.js

JSON web tokens are one of the more popular ways to secure applications, especially in micro-services, but JWT is much more complex than a simple session based user authentication. In this video I will be breaking down exactly how to set up authentication with JWT and how to ensure the authentication is secure. I will also be showing how to setup refresh tokens with JWT so that your application is even more resilient and secure. Lastly, I will show how to invalidate refresh tokens which is the ultimate last step in securing an application. 📚 Materials/References: User Authentication Video: https://youtu.be/Ud5xKCYQTjM JWT Explained Video: https://youtu.be/7Q17ubqLfaM GitHub Code: https://github.com/WebDevSimplified/JWT-Authentication 🧠 Concepts Covered: - Creating Node.js authentication middleware - Using refresh tokens with JWT - Authenticating users with JWT - Invalidating refresh tokens to log users out - How to use JWT securely 🌎 Find Me Here: My Courses: https://courses.webdevsimplified.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WebDevSimplified Twitter: https://twitter.com/DevSimplified Discord: https://discord.gg/7StTjnR GitHub: https://github.com/WebDevSimplified CodePen: https://codepen.io/WebDevSimplified #JWT #WDS #Authentication
