Welcome to our Node.js authentication tutorial! In this video, you'll learn how to implement secure user authentication using JWT tokens in a Node.js application. We'll cover everything from hashing passwords to generating JWT tokens and implementing a logout mechanism. First, we'll dive into the process of securely storing user passwords by hashing them using industry-standard techniques. Then, we'll create a robust authentication system that verifies user credentials against the hashed passwords stored in our database. Once the user credentials are validated, we'll generate a JWT (JSON Web Token) to provide secure access to protected routes in our application. You'll learn how to sign and verify JWT tokens to ensure their integrity and authenticity. Furthermore, we'll explore how to send the generated JWT token to the client-side application, where it will be securely stored using local storage. This token will be used to authenticate subsequent requests to protected endpoints. Finally, we'll implement a logout feature that invalidates the JWT token on the server-side, ensuring that users can securely log out of the application and prevent unauthorized access. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this tutorial will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to implement secure user authentication in your Node.js applications using JWT tokens.
