What are the different authentication methods available in Flask?

Flask offers several authentication methods, including session-based, token-based, and OAuth. Would you like to know more about a specific method?

Can you explain session-based authentication?

Session-based authentication stores user information on the server side and uses cookies to manage sessions. It's secure but can be less scalable.

What about token-based authentication?

Token-based authentication, like JWT, allows stateless authentication. The server issues a token after login, which the client uses for subsequent requests.

Which method is better for a large application?

For large applications, token-based authentication is often preferred due to its scalability and stateless nature.
