if the token should not share it with any one how can I involve it the code ? what I'm trying to say is should I put the token in different file rather than type it in the code ? and if it's yes how can I secure that file ?

Great explanation! Just a qq, if I have a user already authenticated with the application using username and password then can I use header authentication method to get api authenticated? If yes then where to get the header token? From browser session/cookie? Thanks

[TheNkina]

this is very helpful, I just want to ask have to dealt with any type of authentication where there are token's involved as well as decoding those tokens?

[genesebarbosa]

Very very simple explanation and helpful !! Thx Bro!!

[prasadsawant]

well explained. Could you in next video add how to cache the token so that it can be reused in subsequent calls? Mainly for performance reasons.
