Research authentication in Express

[coursera-learnings]

As a backend developer
I need to research authentication methods in Express.js
So that I can choose a secure and scalable approach for user login and session management

Details and Assumptions

• Express.js is the web framework used for the backend.
• Authentication may include JWT-based, session-based, or OAuth strategies.
• The system needs to handle registration, login, and protected routes.
• Security best practices (e.g., password hashing, token expiration) must be considered.

Acceptance Criteria

Given that I have explored authentication options in Express
When I document the pros and cons of each method (JWT, sessions, OAuth)
Then I can recommend the most appropriate solution for our project with references or examples
