Session vs. Token Authentication: The Ultimate Showdown for Faster, Secure Logins!

In this video, we break down the key differences between Session-Based Authentication and Token-Based Authentication (like JWT) in a simple and relatable way. Through a fun story featuring Emma and her library adventures, you'll learn how these two authentication methods work, their pros and cons, and which one is best for your applications.

We explain:

How Session-Based Authentication stores user information on the server, creating potential performance issues as the number of users grows.
How Token-Based Authentication (JWT) keeps all necessary user information within the token itself, reducing server load and speeding up the authentication process.
Why JWT Token-Based Authentication is often a better choice for larger, more dynamic applications.
