Quick Start 🚀
Jump-start your authentication using JWTEAuth.
Basic Think
JWTEAuth is an authentication service designed to securely authenticate users in modern web applications. It leverages JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for creating secure, token-based authentication that is both stateless and scalable. With JWTEAuth, sensitive information such as user credentials are not stored on the server, ensuring better security and reducing the risk of data breaches. At its core, JWTEAuth simplifies the authentication process by using JWTs to verify users and grant them access to protected resources, without the need to constantly reauthenticate with traditional session management. This is particularly useful in applications that require high scalability and performance, as JWTs are lightweight and can be passed through HTTP headers for seamless stateless communication.
Passwordless Authentication: The Future of Secure Access
One of the major advantages of JWTEAuth is its support for passwordless authentication, a modern authentication approach that removes the need for traditional password-based login systems. In passwordless authentication, users are authenticated without the need to remember and input passwords. Instead, they use methods like one-time passcodes (OTP), biometric authentication to verify their identity.
High Level Overview
JWTEAuth service following three stages are essential:
1. Registration: The user registers an account by providing necessary information. This step typically involves creating a username and public key, which are securely stored and hashed in the database.
2. Login: The user logs in by submitting their credentials (username and public key). The system validates these credentials, and if successful, a session or JWT token is generated for authentication.
3. Token Validation: After successful login, the JWT token is sent with each request to authenticate and verify the user's identity. The token is validated either through a service like JWTEAuth's checkToken method or manually on the server-side to ensure that the request comes from an authorized user." These stages collectively ensure that only authorized users can access secure resources, enhancing the overall security of the website.
