User authentication and login is the most important feature of many websites, and most likely a key component to your next project. In this video I will be covering absolutely everything you need to know about user login and authentication in the most concise and simple way. We will be using Express for our server backend and Passport to help us manage the logged in state of users. We will also be sure to properly encrypt and hash all user passwords so that our application is completely secure. By the end of this video you will have built a fully functional login system that you can use in any of your future projects. 📚 Materials/References: GitHub Code: https://github.com/WebDevSimplified/Nodejs-Passport-Login Full Stack Node.js MongoDB Free Course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlvsJLer_No Node.js Authentication Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud5xKCYQTjM 🧠 Concepts Covered: - Setting up a server with Node.js and Express - Setting up Passport with Node.js and Express - How to encrypt user passwords - Restricting access to routes to only logged in users - Showing flash messages with Node.js and Express 🌎 Find Me Here: My Website: https://webdevsimplified.com/ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WebDevSimplified Twitter: https://twitter.com/DevSimplified Discord: https://discord.gg/7StTjnR GitHub: https://github.com/WebDevSimplified CodePen: https://codepen.io/WebDevSimplified #PassportLogin #WDS #NodejsLogin
