JWT Authentication Tutorial - Node.js

  • Опубликовано: 20 сен 2019
  • 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.

    If you're building your own authentication system, it's a really good idea to include a flag in your payloads, to indicate whether that token was generated by authenticating with user credentials, or by using a refresh token. You can use this flag to authorize sensitive operations, such as changing your password or making payments - so if the user didn't log in recently, you can prompt them to log in again for sensitive operations. I would say this is a must for most applications.

      What a great information right there! Thank you for sharing. I immediately recognize the use of the flag in payload when I changing my facebook password for example, it requests me to re-enter my password again for authenticating with user credential

  • @tinnyw2
    @tinnyw2 2 года назад +32

    Kyle has an amazing talent for teaching and this demystifies a lot of how to implement JWTs on the server end. If I may, one caveat I would add is adding access and refresh tokens in the body payload may be prone to being stolen in an XSS attack and depending on how secure you would like to make your site you might want to instead store them on http-only & secure cookies with a samesite set to at least lax so they're not read by Javascript and easily stolen. Again, this tutorial is on point on so many levels and amazing!

    Thank you Kyle for another great video!! Especially by making some confusing topics much clearer and understandable in such little time. I think that many of us could benefit a thousand times more from this jwt knowledge if you created a sequel to this video, or even simply a separate video all together explaining how this backend logic is tied in with the front end via a js framework or keeping it simple like ejs or regular html. There is not a whole lot of good quality educational videos or documentation covering how it can all be connected and implemented into a true fullstack application. It took me a very long time to figure out how to serve my front end as well as authenticate users with jwt using ejs. I would love to see a good video on this from you. Thank you again!
