In this episode, Sam Julien, Google Developer Expert in Angular, Auth0 developer advocate, and expert (blue belt ?) in authentication, shares best practices for authentication and security in Angular.Authentication is necessary for most applications, but often, is either an afterthought or a once-and-done feature. This leads to potential issues as the security landscape shifts. While you _can_ roll your own solution for authentication, generating, validating, and refreshing token, an identity solution from a third-party provider may be something you want to consider. An identity service allows teams to focus on building apps and features, outsourcing the complexities of authentication using a JavaScript SDK. Sam walks us through implementing authentication in Angular using HTTP interceptors, route guards, storing authentication tokens, and state.Panelists Aaron Frost, Jennifer Wadella, & Brian Love then segue into recapping ng-conf: Hardwired 2020, which you can enjoy in its full talk-by-talk entirety at https://videos.ng-conf.org/.
