Authentication Study (Auth0, React, Vite)

This project demonstrates best practices for high-security authentication in a React SPA using Auth0. It is designed for sensitive applications such as healthcare, where protecting user tokens is critical.

Key Steps

• Install React Auth0 SDK
• Create an AuthProvider component and set props for security:
  • cacheLocation to 'memory' (tokens stored only in memory)
  • useRefreshTokens to false (no refresh tokens in browser)
• Use the Auth0 method getAccessTokenSilently to securely fetch access tokens for API calls, leveraging the user's session (no refresh tokens exposed to the browser)
• Wrap your app's root with AuthProvider to enable authentication throughout your app
