Then Garrido walked through WordPress\u2019s core authentication systems, showing how cookie authentication works in the block editor by examining network requests and cookie headers. He explained WordPress\u2019s built-in CSRF protection using nonces and demonstrated creating custom REST endpoints with permission callbacks. The tutorial also covers application passwords as an alternative to cookies, comparing them to JSON Web Tokens and discussing security considerations for token storage. Finally, Garrido explored more advanced topics like implementing JWT workflows with proxy servers and OAuth2 authentication for third-party apps.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><em>Questions?
