Authentication Flow
Authentication flow in React Native is a comprehensive system for managing user identity verification and access control within mobile applications. It encompasses the entire user journey from initial login through session management, including secure credential validation, token-based authentication mechanisms, and protected route access. This flow typically involves multiple components working together: user-facing authentication screens (login/signup), secure API endpoints for credential verification, token storage and management, and navigation guards that protect sensitive app sections based on authentication status.
