Course Description

Authentication is a critical part of almost every web application. Today our users expect more than simple local authentication. They want support for third-party authentication, so they can use a single account to sign in to multiple websites. OAuth and OAuth 2.0 are protocols for doing just that.

In this course, Envato Tuts+ instructor Jeremy McPeak will teach you how to incorporate OAuth 2.0 in your Node.js applications.

What You’ll Learn

Implement a registration feature that works with Passport.
Create login functionality for an app.
Add support for Facebook as an external authorization provider.
Build a profile page to let users manage their accounts.
Allow users to disconnect their connected accounts.
Write your own authentication strategy based on the generic OAuth 2.0 strategy.
