Day 44: User Authentication Flow
Building the Gateway to Your AI Quiz Platform
What We’re Building Today
Today we’re implementing the critical authentication system that transforms our quiz platform from an open playground into a secure, personalized experience. We’ll build login/registration flows, implement JWT-based authentication, and create the foundation for user-specific quiz sessions.
Today’s Agenda:
JWT authentication architecture
React authentication components with state management
Secure token storage and API integration
Form validation and error handling
User session persistence
The Authentication Challenge in Distributed Systems
Authentication isn’t just about passwords - it’s about creating a stateless, scalable identity layer that works across microservices. When Netflix authenticates you, that token needs to work seamlessly across their recommendation engine, video streaming service, and billing system.
