 This project only responds and listens in json. Keep that in mind when send requests through PostMan or your frontend.
 
+As mentioned in the frontend code, the user authentication process is this:
+
+- User create an account
+- User logs in
+- The server sends and `accessToken` and a `refreshToken` back
+- We take the `accessToken` and decoded it using `jwt-decode`. This gets us the logged in user's information. We stick this in the Vuex variable `user`. Then we store the `refreshToken`.
+- Each protected endpoint will be expecting you to attach the `accessToken` you have to the call (using Authentication: Bearer). After a short amount of time, the server will respond with `401 TOKEN EXPIRED`. When you see this - that means you need to send your `refreshToken` and `user.email` to the endpoint that deals with `accessToken` refreshing. Once you do that, you'll received a brand new `accessToken` and `refreshToken`.
+- Repeat the process as needed.

 ### PM2
 
 This project features an `ecosystem.json` file that is the target of the PM2 implementation in production. Very simple - we just give it a name and some other basic info and PM2 handles the rest. Great library with awesome documentation.
