- [Shaun] User authentication is an absolute necessity for nearly every website, and yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and neglected skills in most developer's skillsets. If you've ever seen on the news about how some website was hacked and exposed millions of users' personal information, you're well aware of what the consequences can look like when user authentication isn't done correctly. We're going to learn how user authentication actually works behind the scenes, covering virtually all of the most important aspects of user authentication in the context of a full stack React application, how to do things like build an auth server with Node.js, how to verify users' email addresses and reset passwords, how to keep users' data, such as passwords and personal information, safe, and much more besides these things. I'm Shaun Wassell. I've been a full stack developer for quite a long time now and I'm very excited to be your guide as we learn about one of the most important topics in the field today. Join me in my course to learn about user authentication with React and Node.js and add this incredibly important knowledge to your developer toolbox.
