Learn JWT in 10 Minutes with Express, Node, and Cookie Parser

I give a quick overview of how to sign/verify JWT tokens and place them inside a cookie to do authentication on your secured express API routes.

Btw, you'd want to learn more about using refresh tokens so that a user can refresh their short-lived JWT tokens. I may make a part 2 for this video to talk about that topic.

If there is anything you were disappointed I didn’t talk about in this video, let me know and I’ll make another video to cover it. Maybe refresh tokens is something I could have covered.

You are a legend! After combing through videos with people never quite explaining how to generate/store JWT tokens (securely), this was the video that put it all together. Thanks! My login portal will be built in your honor😆

Sir setting req.user = user not working in typescript ? const user = how it extract user from jwt automatically?

With your doing, I wonder if two different account logins are on the same device. How did the server return and manage their cookie & token? Can you explain this situation, many thanks
