Can't thank you enough for this tutorial. I have also watched several tutorials that have left me with more doubts than answers, so I appreciate how thorough this tutorial is. Amazing job!

Probably the best tutorial online for user authentication! Excellent delivery of the middleware concept with user authentication flow. @Zach Gollwitzer, you're a legend! Keep up the great work.

To my name sake, this is really well done! I am a mid level node developer and found the steps and extra bits you gave to be outstanding and more then worth the time spent going through it. Well done sir!

I really appreciate your compassion and desire to make no assumptions in your descriptions. As a beginning developer, I have experienced exactly what you are talking about. Someone breezes through a concept, and I am left thinking, "Was that supposed to be straightforward?" Thank you so much for acknowledging how many complicated steps go into this process and helping to break it down.

Zach, one thing I really like about your videos is that you don't edit out the mistakes when you make them, but correct them in full view. I find this useful as it gives me the opportunity to think why something didn't work too. It is a really helpful learning aid (well for me it is).

[dochimekashiariri]

this tutorial is not only helping me in user authentication but also in resolving the doubts I had about express js. HATS OFF to the instructor for making such a clear and precise tutorial.

This tutorial is criminally underrated. Watched the whole way through. 10/10.

[official.mhm]

Watched this complete tutorial and it was one of the best and comprehensive tutorial I have ever watched. Thanks Zach!

[EddyVinck]

I watched this on Zach's channel first. For anyone wondering, it's absolutely worth to to follow the entire thing!

This cleared up so many of my questions as a starter especially on topics like cookies, sessions, and other accompanying middlewares. Bravo!

[christiankomodo]

Your videos are great! Thorough and beginner-friendly but brings you through the whole thing. Perfect!

[justinfitzpatrick]

This is a really phenomenal job of explaining this topic and helped me in my work immensely. The only video I've found that didn't talk over my head. Thank you Zach!

[ishehad]

I ike the guy's tempo. A lot of youtubers try to keep videos short by talking really fast - to the point where it becomes impossible to follow and comprehend. This guy makes it just right - very easy and pleasant to listen. Good job!

[rikardcederberg]

Thank you for this really in depth tutorial.
I would love to see more like this on other React and web development stuff.
Keep up the good work.

[cyberducc]

This is the most important tutorial I've ever seen about authentication. The topics presented in this video are invaluable to me and many other devs. Thank you so much Zach. I will refer this tutorial to anyone wanting to learn authentication in nodejs apps. 🚀

[emcsquare]

[arpitanand]

Man!! You have taken care of and have explained every other aspect of what you wrote in the code!! This is just amazing. ❤

[ronnysusanto]

Great video! I love how in depth you go on certain topics and concepts! Thank you!

[destroyerYT-ds]

Special thanks to Zach and FCC for this awesome tutorial. Really learned a lot from this tutorial. Keep coming with these type of tutorials :))

[aminarahman]

I have coded along up-to Express MIddlewares so far, never have these concepts been clearer than it is now after watching your video. Thanks a lot!!
