Conclusion
Congratulations! You've now implemented user authentication. Hopefully that was quite easy!
However, we barely scratched the surface. There are a lot more things we can do with Angular and Auth0 token based authentication. Here are some examples:
- Protect an API with access tokens
- Prevent users from accessing certain routes in the app if they are not authenticated
- Assign user roles, such as
user,admin,editor, etc. and give them different permissions in the app - Silently renew authentication if the user's session expires while they are still actively using the app
- Enable passwordless authentication, allowing users to sign on using an email link, SMS, fingerprint, etc.
- Enable Single Sign-On, allowing users to sign into multiple apps with one login
- And more!
