This post will provide some high level insight into how I used Auth0 for user authentication but also for API authorization, while also using their Lock widget for logging in.

After a few weeks of frustration and times that I wanted to give up on securing the API, I finally did it with using Auth0 with the help of jsonwebtoken.

Thought it was going to be more difficult, but it was apparently easier than I had thought!

All work and no play makes for a dull Bryan.

I love learning new things and trying out all the new technology I come across, but how do I fit all that into an already busy schedule?

Ended up getting sidetracked by a PHP application that a friend needed help on, but I was still able to get some stuff done!
