JWT Authentication Explained

Here I use a simple metaphor to teach JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication and authorization.

Single handedly the best explanation I've ever gotten over this!

This breakdown was my lightbulb moment thank you

[jpkeys]

This metaphor is great. Thank you Matt!

JWT equals hotel key card. Brilliant, thank you!

Both require upfront verification once but permit use of the token in subsequent interactions as a replacement, for a certain time period and subject to further rules and limitations.

So good!

loved the metaphor, best one I heard so far in this topic

[omotosoiyanu]

I’ve have been watching videos and reading articles on JWT for some time now and I still find myself going back to another article to understand even the basics but after watching this I don’t think I will ever go back to watching a video on just the basic understanding of JWT again …


Thank you very much

thank you so much for this explantion! I searched JWT today since I keep forgeting how JWT works, after watching your video i think i will never forget it

[ianpropst-campbell]

This was actually a really helpful analogy. thank you for sharing!

[CodeWithJude]

Great analogy to teach the concept of JWT authentication!

[nanakwasi]

Glad you could help me understand JWT better. Thanks

Cyber security tip: don’t show your real identity card or badge online. Respectfully suggested.

thank you so much for this very smart analogy Matt! you certainly made a difference to my understanding and you got yourself (at least) one more subscriber (as I am going to share this video with my bootcamp's cohort).

[ArMaAa]

Perfectly explained, thank you so much!

[mikes.]

Thank you! The analogies really helped!

[packtrouble]

I would say this is probably the best explanation I have seen.

[paulmittelstaedt]

this vieo is just perfect <3. On Point. The main idea is so well explaned with the example that i had no issue to transfer that newly gained knowledge to my study session concerning the jwt.
Love it men!!!!
