πŸ” Secure Your Apps with Best Practices ⬇️⬇️⬇️

πŸ”’ Sanitize Inputs: Always sanitize user inputs to prevent XSS (Cross-site scripting) and SQL Injection attacks.

πŸ›‘οΈ Use HTTPS: Ensure your app uses HTTPS for secure communication between the server and client.

πŸ”‘ JWT Tokens: Use JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure user authentication and authorization in your web apps.

πŸ“œ Regular Updates: Keep your libraries and dependencies updated to ensure your app is not vulnerable to known exploits.

πŸ”‘ Two-Factor Authentication: Implement 2FA to add an extra layer of security for user accounts.

πŸ›‘οΈ Limit User Permissions: Grant only necessary permissions to users, following the principle of least privilege.

Very useful. But I didn't understand JSON Web Tokens(JWT). How do we implement them ?

And how do we sanitize inputs ?
