# Authorization by token's

User authorization module.
 | 
			
		||||
Token-based authentication (also known as
 | 
			
		||||
[JSON Web Token authentication](https://jwt.io/))
 | 
			
		||||
is a new way of handling authentication of users in applications.
 | 
			
		||||
It is an alternative to
 | 
			
		||||
[session-based authentication](https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/81756/).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**The plugin is in active development.**
 | 
			
		||||
The most notable difference between the session-based and token-based authentication is that former relies heavily on the server.
 | 
			
		||||
A record is created for each logged-in user.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Token-based authentication is stateless - it does not store anything on the server but creates a unique encoded token that gets checked every time a request is made.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Unlike session-based authentication, a token approach would not associate a user with login information but with a unique token that is used to carry client-host transactions.
 | 
			
		||||
Many applications, including Facebook, Google, and GitHub, use the token-based approach.
