Description
Welcome toOpenIddict with .NET – The Ultimate Identity Adventure— your all-in-one guide to mastering secure authentication and identity management in .NET applications!

In today’s world, securing user identity is critical. This course makes complex topics like OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and token-based authentication easy and fun, even if you’re new to these concepts.

You’ll start with the basics: What is OpenIddict, and why is it the perfect partner for .NET developers? We’ll explore how it simplifies building secure login systems without reinventing the wheel.

Next, dive into the heart of modern authentication standards — OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. Learn how these protocols work together to keep user data safe and enable seamless login experiences.

We break down the different OAuth flows — from the simple password flow to the more secure authorization code flow — explaining when and why to use each.

You’ll gain hands-on experience implementing these flows in your .NET apps, with step-by-step code walkthroughs and clear explanations.

Managing users and roles is crucial for any secure app. You’ll learn how to integrate OpenIddict with ASP.NET Core Identity to handle registration, login, role management, and password resets securely.

We also cover building consent screens — those friendly prompts that ask users for permission — to enhance user trust and comply with privacy standards.

But that’s not all! Secure your APIs by implementing the right OAuth flows to control access, whether users or apps are calling your services.

Throughout the course, expect practical tips, best practices, and advice to avoid common security mistakes.

This course is perfect for .NET developers, backend engineers, and anyone eager to understand modern identity management.

No confusing jargon or overly technical lectures — just simple, clear, and interactive lessons with a friendly instructor guiding you all the way.

By the end, you’ll be confident building secure, professional authentication systems that protect users and data.

Whether you’re creating small web apps or large enterprise solutions, this course prepares you for real-world identity challenges.
