Happy birthday! Had I known that, I would have printed you a cake. PLA flavor only, but a wide range of colors.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Oh the merry [redacted]! Woe, woe and thrice woe! Woe is me, etc, etc, etc.
I firkin hate authorisation and I hate it even more when it's not standard.
We have an API - requests come in, json goes out. Simple as a very simple thing. Easier than negotiating with the EU. Can't go wrong...
Until...
I tried to add in some authentication...
Which does actually work, but not as expected.
I've got the lovely elephant token, it's one-way supper nice and lovely.
Problem is the api server is flask and the [demo] app is a nice spa with react/redux/Carlo Fandango Wide Wheels and six boxes of Hamlet.
How do I securely hold the fatherless token to give back to the api in the request header? My head is hurting from this. Security will be the death of me and/or this bloody app.

Then just ask Mrs May - she's good at that, and she's going to need a steady job soon ...

As an outsider looking in, why does that seem to be the answer to all web programming questions?

The client can't trust the server. The server can't trust the client. Neither of them can trust the pipe between them. And those of us who are supposed to make it all work keep getting distracted by the latest shiny framework that's supposed to fix everything, so long as you don't look too closely at the security implications.
The solution is simple: we just need to - OH LOOK! A SQUIRREL!

As the proud-but-bemused owner of two greyhounds, I can testify to this phenomenon. You learn to keep them on a very short leash, since they can go from 0 to 40 mph in six strides.

Ah! He needs the "OOO! A Squirrel!" design pattern then.

So, let me get this straight, if a veteran member asks a programming question in the Lounge he is greeted with open arms, but if he is an outsider, he is shunned to the pit of despair.
Ok. got it.

More of a technical discussion than a programming question; but pretty much, yes.

well, the last paragraph of the OP is clearly a programming question, regardless of technical discussion or not.

your article's comment section from other users. "Hello Kamen" --> basic search on site after that.
Interesting is all.

Oh and if the app has some native code, you can store it in the "code behind" in the app's internal storage AND encrypted

Your rant made me laugh because you described the entire process of dealing with user authentication just as I experience it each time I have to deal with it.
Dealing with it is basically like a stroke, topped off with an brain aneurysm ,salted with plenty of cursing.
