php-jwt VS fusionauth-jwt

So basically if the login is successfull I have to create a JWT token (with something like this library) with the userID inside and send it via `setcookie()` for web or in a JSON response to the API client and consider it the long lived refresh token.

This depends on the library you end up downloading for the platform of your choosing. Some of the parts I explained above will be handled by the library for example in my case I decoded signedTransactionInfo using firebase/php-jwt. This has the added benefit of always checking the validity of the signature which was omitted in the manual method.

That's not what JWT is, but I can understand why someone would be misled into believing that.

JWT isn't just an encoding format, it also includes a crypto algorithm negotiation protocol that lets the attacker choose the algorithm. Even if you strictly allow-list which algorithm you want to support, you can accidentally bypass this control in many libraries if you suppor the `kid` (key ID) header. [1]

It also allows attackers to completely strip the security. [2] [3]

Put shortly, JWT is a gun aimed directly at your foot. That's why there's so much hate for JWTs.

FusionAuth is one of the most decorated and successful open-source IAM solutions. It has been downloaded by more than 10 million customers and hosts over 1 million digital identities.

Ideally, I would recommend not handling and storing passwords yourself. It is preferable to use an identity provider (IdP), such as Azure AD B2C, Auth0, or FusionAuth. These systems are designed to manage your users' identity (including their passwords) so you don't have to. You could also use Single Sign-On with cloud providers.

Concur.

Another data point. Our open source JWT library[0] and Java client library[1] both target Java 8 because that is widely used.

This article is based upon a presentation from Dan Moore of FusionAuth.

FusionAuth is a powerful identity and access management platform that makes it easy to add authentication and authorization to your applications. In this blog post, we'll explore how to integrate FusionAuth with a Python Flask application using OAuth 2.0, covering features such as login, displaying user profile information, and logout functionality.
