I'm trying to learn how to set up user accounts on a website with third-party authentication and authorization. Could anyone point me to some good video tutorials that are either free or reasonably priced? I've got a grasp on front-end development, but I'm struggling to get my head around the back end.

It's also important to know what language or framework your back end is built on. Different technologies will have their own ways of handling authentication.
For a solid authentication setup, look into OIDC with short-lived JWTs stored in HttpOnly cookies. There's also Keycloak, Supabase Auth, and Firebase Auth to consider, which can all be self-hosted and are free. For tutorials, check out Traversy Media for JWT and Fireship for OAuth 2.0; they're really good. Just make sure to use secure methods for your tokens!
What kind of third-party authentication providers are you considering? Options like Auth0, Clerk, or Firebase are popular. If you give more specifics, I could help you find something better suited to your needs!
