How to Setup a JWT Authentication System in FastAPI | Login Signup APIs with JWT Tokens

In this essential FastAPI tutorial, we dive deep into implementing JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication for your FastAPI application. Whether you're building a secure API for a web or mobile app, JWT is one of the most widely used strategies for stateless, scalable user authentication — and this video shows you how to do it right from scratch.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:
What JWT is and why it's used in modern authentication
How to implement Signup and Login APIs
Hashing user passwords using passlib for secure storage
Creating and verifying JWT tokens using python-jose
Securing routes using JWT-based authentication
Extracting and validating user info from tokens
How to handle token expiration and errors properly
Following best practices for storing secrets and keys

We break down the logic behind access token generation, secure password management, and validating requests using headers — making it beginner-friendly but powerful enough for production systems.

Tech Stack Used:

FastAPI

Passlib (for password hashing)

Python-Jose (for JWT encoding/decoding)

SQLite or any database of your choice

Pydantic for user schema validation

Uvicorn for development server

Perfect For:

FastAPI beginners looking to add authentication to their apps

Python developers building secure REST APIs

Anyone transitioning from session-based auth to JWT-based systems

Full-stack developers needing secure backend user auth flow

By the end of this video, you’ll have a fully working JWT-based authentication system built with FastAPI — ready to protect your API endpoints and manage users securely.

Whether you're working on a personal project, SaaS product, or API backend, JWT auth is a must-have skill, and this video gives you a clear, practical implementation.
