I have an application that will use flask and mongodb; I will probably host it on rackspace.
I need to understand how flask authenticating works. I have not found much information on the subject. Is there a complete tutorial on how to roll your own solution? If not, I certainly would like to hear some thoughts on how you would approach it for a a flask app.
Big PS:
I just thought about it. I also need to open a real API. A part of that API will be used for AJAX on the front end. How do i secure that part of the app?
Can anyone explain API auth requests?

To do that, change the endpoint to /user and then in the headers section, add a field as x-access-token and add the JWT token in the value and click on Send. You will get the list of users as JSON. So, this is how you can perform authentication with JWT in Flask.
the login process seems secure. But you didn't check the potential existing user in the signup form, or existing email address. Unless this is managed by the underlying User schema. And you should require a minimal password complexity.
I would suggest using the flask-login extension, it makes session management really easy to add to your flask application, and provides a nice documentation which covers in details every aspect of the extension.
