I've subscribed to your channel a long ago, but haven't watched many videos. Just got your videos back on recommendation and man I'm seriously binge-watching your recent videos. You've improved a lot. Congrats in advance for your long successful journey!

Had a bit overview of JWT but after watching it was so clear and perfect. All the videos I watched so far are so helpful. Thanks for the amazing content 🙂🙂

Never understood JWT before watching this video, great work Mehul bhai!🔥

[noelfrancisco]

great comparison and great learning how JWT really works. Learned a new thing as well, how to generate random strong password key :) Thanks

[kaushalendrapandey]

Great Videos.. Can you make a videos on how can we manage secret keys when working with Lambdas...

[cesarp]

constructive feedback: not sure what the first 30 sec of the video with a "intro" from a random out of content portion of the topic helps (or delays) vs actually starting the content of the video.. (unless you are actually trying to reach the 10min mark with some random filler) cheers!

[chiragmadaan]

This is great. Can you please make a video comparing different authentications and discussing their pros and cons like API Keys vs OAuth Tokens vs JSON Web Tokens? thanks

[KrishnenduKDG]

Great Video on the topic...
Just Loved it....

Thank You so much :) :)

[kaushalkumar]

1 2 3 4 Mehul you are that person we all had in our college who can explain the topic to friend easily. just like i was in my college but for me you are that guy :)

[Simone-ftcg]

Great video as always! Could you make a video where you talk about JWT vulnerabilities and how to avoid them? Loi liang yang has recently published some interesting videos that make me doubt

[Saruman_Kaz]

Well for me the problem with JWT is that it can not be stored/saved securely on client side. Basically you store it in the localstorage which is readable by javascript and if you get that token you can easily be logged in.
Compared to sessions for example where you have http-only cookie and you can't get access to it with javacript.

[VKD]

JWT is fine but I would like WebAuthen to be a standard, in built browser based can use JWT if we want or not

[manideepkumar]

nice, i have a doubt, 1) since the token is just a BAse64 encoded value of our payload, hackers can see that data right they also can decode and see right? so is this secure?
2) i understand that signature is a combination of Data+Secret key if any thing is changed sign will be changed then owner will know
but my question is only only attacker can easily see after decoding right?
