Section Intro: API Authentication and Security

The video tutorial focuses on securing the task manager API by implementing authentication. Initially, all API endpoints are publicly accessible, posing a risk of unauthorized data manipulation. The tutorial aims to restrict access through user authentication, ensuring only registered users can manage data. This setup helps track user actions and establish a clear relationship between users and their tasks. Key topics include authentication, data relationships, and password security.
