We will be building a user authentication in a single page application with Node, React, Redux and Koa combined with Passport. We will implement local authentication, where users can log in using an email and passport, and authentication with Facebook, which can be used with other social networks and OAuth providers.
In today’s article we will be building a React application with passwordless authentication through Auth0. For brevity, we will use the Auth0 React Starter as the foundation for our application…
Mithril positions itself as a compact but powerful modern client-side JavaScript framework. In this tutorial, we are going to use Mithril to build a fairly complex web interface to store data about conferences and authenticate it with Auth0.
In order to authenticate users, web applications often store user passwords. This can be tricky, because password storage mechanisms are a watering hole for bad advice: there are several solutions to this problem but very few are truly secure. If you store the passwords of your users, your goal should be to make sure that in the event of a data compromise, user passwords should remain safe. The best way to store users passwords is to use a password-based key derivation function (PBKDF) with a sufficient work factor. If your application does not leverage a PBKDF, you should migrate password storage schemes immedietely. More on this later.
OAuth 2 is an authorization framework that enables applications to obtain limited access to user accounts on an HTTP service, such as Facebook, GitHub, and DigitalOcean. It works by delegating user authentication to the service that hosts the user acc
XSS is one of the attacks that can affect your website. In order to cope with the attack, Angular implements concepts that keep the developers from making mistakes and opens a window to a security…
