User authentication is a process that verifies a user’s identity to grant access to secure systems or resources. It’s a critical component of web application security, ensuring that only authorized users can perform certain actions or access sensitive information.
FastAPI provides tools and libraries to implement various authentication methods easily. For our user authentication system, we will focus on token-based authentication using JWT for its simplicity and effectiveness.
Understanding the basics of user authentication and its flow is crucial for developing secure web applications. FastAPI’s support for various authentication methods makes it a robust choice for implementing these systems. In the next lesson, we’ll start building our authentication system, beginning with user registration and login.
Consider a web application you use frequently. Reflect on its authentication process. Can you identify which authentication method it uses? Think about the user experience and any security features you notice.
