Bearer Authentication

Bearer Authentication is a method used by websites and applications to verify a user's identity. When you log in, you receive a unique "token"—like a digital key—that grants access to protected resources. Instead of sending your username and password with each request, you include this token in your communication. The server checks the token to confirm your identity without repeatedly asking for your credentials. It's a secure and efficient way to manage access, commonly used in APIs and online services, ensuring users can access data seamlessly while maintaining security.
