Nice step-by-step tutorial Victoria Lo
Happy to hear that from you, Yogesh :)
This is awesome thank you!
Thanks Hunter, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Very Useful! Thanks for this article!!
awesome was gonna start a project with auth0 this helped a lot.
Very detailed tutorial. I just finished my full-stack course. And now I can finally understand what is this post talking about. Haha.
I have a brief idea how authentication works now. And experienced some other authentication methods too. But do not know what auth0 is about. All I know it is a kind of oauth.
May I know what is auth0 in brief description and What are the differences between it and google-oauth / facebook-oauth?
Hi nameless, thanks for the comment :) Congrats on completing your full-stack course.
To answer your question, OAuth 2.0 is a protocol that allows a user to grant limited access to their resources on one site, to another site, without having to expose their credentials. You know like those "Sign in with Google/Facebook/Apple/GitHub" stuff.
On the other hand, auth0 - which is what this tutorial is about, is the platform that allows developers to implement the OAuth2 protocol more conveninently.
So Google OAuth is basically allowing users to Sign Up with Google. And Facebook OAuth allows users to Sign Up with Facebook.
And auth0 is that platform can provide this implementation more easily for you. Hope that answers it :)
Thanks.
And also thanks for the reply. So by reading your code and the description. Can I conclude that we can outsource the authentication part to the auth0 easily?
Yes that's what auth0 platform does
Victoria Lo That's so cool. Thanks for the explanation. Now I see what auth0 is about. 😁
