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.

JSON Web Token (JWT) is a standard that defines a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object. In this Node Authentication with JWT video, we will use JWT in Node.js to create a token and allow user to access a protected route in a Node.js application. This allows adding security features and hides specific parts of an application until the token is verified.

JWT (JSON Web Token) are a common method for authentication on the web. Learn how to implement an auth flow from scratch in a Node.js + Vue.js app. We will be focusing on using JWT to perform authentication requests on a Vue.js client app with a Node.js backend. But first, let’s review how JWT works in a nutshell.

Node JWT Authentication Example. Session-based Authentication in Node and Token-based Authentication in Node. Node JSON Web Token Auth for APIs Example.

In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to build a secure token-based user authentication REST APIs using JWT (JSON web token), bcrypt, Node, Express, and MongoDB.

Node.js Express + Angular 10 JWT Authentication example with Role based Authorization. Learn how to build a full stack Node.js Express + Angular 10 Authentication example. The back-end server uses Node.js Express with JSOn web token for JWT authentication & Authorization, Sequelize for interacting with MySQL database. The front-end will be created with Angular 10 with HttpInterceptor and Router. We’ll also perform Form validation on UI.
