Issue Access Tokens on Login
Sign a JWT and return it to the client.
The Login Handshake
Login is a trade: the client sends valid credentials, and your server hands back a signed access token it can use on every later call.
Install the Extension
The Flask-JWT-Extended library does the signing and checking for you. One pip install and you are ready to mint tokens.
