Join us live with Advait Ruia (Co-Founder @SuperTokens) as we learn about token-based authentication and authorization. Explore the benefits of using tokens over sessions, understand the nuances of short-lived versus long-lived tokens in the AI era, and learn how passkeys integrate with token-based authentication. We'll also discuss the pros and cons of self-implementing token-based authentication, decentralized authentication use cases, and frontend-only authentication.
