What do you know about auth?

Confused about auth? You’re not alone, especially considering the importance of getting authentication and authorisation right. In this episode, Matt addresses everything you always wanted to know about auth (but were afraid to ask).

Terms like OIDC, OAuth, PKCE, JWT, and cookies are often thrown around, but how many of us are confident we are doing it right? By the end of this episode you’ll have a better understanding on the processes and mechanisms that help keep our applications secure.

Matt also talks about best practices for implementing authorisation in modern SPAs, the best way to ensure your tokens remain secret, and shares some of his (secure) shortcuts.

As always, we’re eager to hear your thoughts! Share your favourite moments from our first year and let us know what topics you’d love to see in the future.
