JWT Bearer Authentication

JWT (JSON Web Token) Bearer Authentication is a method used to secure web applications. When you log in, the server generates a token that encodes your identity and some other information. This token is then sent to your device and must be included in requests to access protected resources. The server verifies the token without needing to check a database each time, ensuring that you are who you claim to be. It's called "Bearer" because anyone with the token can access the resources, so it must be kept secure to avoid unauthorized access.
