How do you handle user authentication and authorization when developing Electron applications?

When developing Electron applications, user authentication and authorization is typically handled through the use of a third-party authentication service such as Auth0 or Firebase. These services provide a secure way to authenticate users and authorize access to the application.

The first step is to create an account with the authentication service and configure the application to use the service. This typically involves setting up the authentication service with the application’s API keys and other credentials.

Once the authentication service is set up, the application can then use the service to authenticate users. This is typically done by redirecting the user to the authentication service’s login page, where they can enter their credentials. Once the user is authenticated, the authentication service will provide the application with an access token that can be used to authorize the user’s access to the application.

The application can then use the access token to authorize the user’s access to the application’s resources. This is typically done by verifying the token with the authentication service and then granting the user access to the application’s resources based on the token’s permissions.

Finally, the application can also use the authentication service to store user data such as preferences and settings. This allows the application to provide a personalized experience for each user.
