How should I handle user authentication in my React app?

Response

Great question! Let me break down the main approaches for React authentication:

**1. JWT with localStorage/sessionStorage**
- Pros: Simple, works offline
- Cons: Vulnerable to XSS attacks

**2. Cookies with HttpOnly flag**
- Pros: More secure, automatic handling
- Cons: CSRF concerns, server-side required

**3. OAuth with third-party providers**
- Pros: No password management, trusted providers
- Cons: External dependency, limited customization

**My recommendation: Option 2 (HttpOnly cookies)**

This is the most secure approach. Here's a basic implementation:

```javascript
// API call with credentials
const login = async (credentials) => {
  const response = await fetch('/api/auth/login', {
    method: 'POST',
    credentials: 'include', // Include cookies
    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify(credentials)
  });
  return response.json();
};
```

For production, also implement:
- CSRF tokens
- Rate limiting
- Password hashing with bcrypt
- Session management
- Refresh token rotation

Would you like me to elaborate on any of these approaches?
