How to setup a JWT Authentication system in FastAPI

🔐 How to Setup a JWT Authentication System in FastAPI | Login Signup APIs with JWT Tokens

In this essential FastAPI tutorial, we dive deep into implementing JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication for your FastAPI application. Whether you're building a secure API for a web or mobile app, JWT is one of the most widely used strategies for stateless, scalable user authentication — and this video shows you how to do it right from scratch.

🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ What JWT is and why it's used in modern authentication
✅ How to implement Signup and Login APIs
✅ Hashing user passwords using passlib for secure storage
✅ Creating and verifying JWT tokens using python-jose
✅ Securing routes using JWT-based authentication
✅ Extracting and validating user info from tokens
✅ How to handle token expiration and errors properly
✅ Following best practices for storing secrets and keys

🧠 We break down the logic behind access token generation, secure password management, and validating requests using headers — making it beginner-friendly but powerful enough for production systems.

💻 Tech Stack Used:

FastAPI

Passlib (for password hashing)

Python-Jose (for JWT encoding/decoding)

SQLite or any database of your choice

Pydantic for user schema validation

Uvicorn for development server

🎯 Perfect For:

FastAPI beginners looking to add authentication to their apps

Python developers building secure REST APIs

Anyone transitioning from session-based auth to JWT-based systems

Full-stack developers needing secure backend user auth flow

By the end of this video, you’ll have a fully working JWT-based authentication system built with FastAPI — ready to protect your API endpoints and manage users securely.

📦 Whether you're working on a personal project, SaaS product, or API backend, JWT auth is a must-have skill, and this video gives you a clear, practical implementation.
