Hello !
Thank you for the refreshers ! Great video
One question: what do you mean by creating a whitelist for refresh token ? If you use RT rotation, what's whitelisting adding to it ?

[@nikita-dev]

A whitelist would be an alternative to RT rotation-- you wouldn't use both

[@momobear66]

Can I use personal access token(PAT) as refresh token?

[@user-tp4fj2kf3p]

you mention that it validation is done using private-key. That seems odd; generally we should be able to verify the signature using the public key, can you please clarify?

[@nikita-dev]

There are various hashing algorithms that use different approaches to signing and verifying tokens. Some use just 1 private key (HS256), and some use both a public key and a private key (RS256). It just depends on the algorithm

[@mr.random8447]

Why not store JWT in secure httpOnly cookie instead, to prevent XSS on local storage?

[@nikita-dev]

that works as well 👍

[@emekarr]

I don’t think JWT authentication can work effectively without making some sort of db call with every request. For example to know which tokens have been invalidated when the user signs out
