Great Authentication: How to use Auth in Headless WordPress

To kick off the new season of the De{Code} podcast, Will and Kellen have an epic conversation about authentication in headless WordPress. They give an overview of all the authentication strategies that exist in WordPress (6.40), a breakdown of how to leverage WordPress's cookie-based authentication (37.18), where in the stack auth occurs (52.11) and the difference between authentication and authorization. 

To cap it all off, Kellen gives a detailed breakdown of his authentication tutorial (1.12.01).
