AngularJS Authentication: Secure Your App with Auth0

Course Overview

This course provides an overview of how to secure an AngularJS application using Auth0 and JSON Web Tokens (JWT). Participants will learn how to set up JWT middleware in a NodeJS (Express) program, and how to make HTTP requests from AngularJS that are authenticated. Additionally, participants will learn how to create a user profile area for their users that includes their avatar, and how to redirect users to a login route when they become unauthenticated. Finally, participants will learn how to increase security by using multi-factor authentication, and how to log in using social media platforms like Google and Twitter.

[Applications]
After taking this course, users can apply the knowledge they have gained to secure their AngularJS applications with Auth0. They can set up JWT middleware in a NodeJS (Express) programme, and use AngularJS to make HTTP requests that are authenticated. Additionally, users can create a user profile area for their users that includes their avatar, and when a user becomes unauthenticated, they can redirect them to a login route. To further increase security, users can also implement multi-factor authentication, and allow users to log in using social media platforms like Google and Twitter.
