JWT authentication in a Node.js API is implemented using short-lived access tokens and refresh tokens. This Skill uses @fastify/jwt to handle secure token generation and validation for user sessions.

OAuth 2.0 integration for Node.js applications works by connecting with third-party providers like Google for user authentication. This enables delegated authorization, allowing secure third-party access without exposing user credentials.

The best way to manage API keys for secure service authentication is to enforce strong policies and secure hashing. This Skill provides API key management to securely authenticate services or clients accessing your APIs.

This authentication approach supports password hashing and validation using bcrypt and zod. It enforces strong password policies and secure hashing to protect user credentials in your Node.js application.

You can use this strategy to handle both access tokens and refresh tokens. It implements secure token-based authentication designed to manage short-lived access tokens alongside refresh tokens for continuous user sessions.

You need API key management instead of OAuth 2.0 when authenticating services or machine-to-machine clients rather than human users. API keys provide secure direct access, whereas OAuth 2.0 handles delegated user authorization.
