ASP.NET Web API – Token Based Authentication Tutorial

When it comes to securing ASP.NET applications, authentication and authorization play key roles. Authentication verifies a user’s identity by checking their credentials, while authorization verifies a user’s roles. This video provides an overview of token-based authentication, contrasting it with cookie-based methods. Learn how tokens and refresh tokens function, why token-based systems offer enhanced security with shorter expiration times, and the process of generating new tokens. This course is perfect for understanding secure data access in web applications. ✏️ Course from @dotnethow 💻 Code - Beginning: https://github.com/etrupja/securing-aspnet-apps - Final: https://github.com/etrupja/securing-aspnet-apps-final Learn more from Ervis and get coupons for his other courses: https://dotnethow.net/freecodecamp ❤️ Support for this channel comes from our friends at Scrimba – the coding platform that's reinvented interactive learning: https://scrimba.com/freecodecamp ⭐️ Chapters ⭐️ - 0:00:00 Introduction - 0:02:07 Authentication vs Authorization - 0:04:34 Traditional vs Token-based Authentication - 0:14:10 Adding Identity tables with EFCore - 0:21:55 Configuring Authentication in Startup.cs - 0:33:07 Setting up Authentication Controller - 0:37:54 Registering a new user - 0:47:36 Generating an access and a refresh token - 1:02:38 Logging in an existing user - 1:14:10 Get access token using the refresh token - 1:41:41 Adding role based authentication - 2:02:55 Thank you 🎉 Thanks to our Champion and Sponsor supporters: 👾 Drake Milly 👾 Ulises Moralez 👾 Goddard Tan 👾 David MG 👾 Matthew Springman 👾 Claudio 👾 Oscar R. 👾 jedi-or-sith 👾 Nattira Maneerat 👾 Justin Hual -- Learn to code for free and get a developer job: https://www.freecodecamp.org Read hundreds of articles on programming: https://freecodecamp.org/news
