COVER // HOW WOULD YOU DESIGN A RESTFUL API USING FLASK TO HANDLE USER AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION, PARTICULARLY CONSIDERING SCALABILITY AND SECURITY?

To design a RESTful API for user authentication in Flask, I would use Flask-RESTful for routing and Flask-JWT-Extended for token-based authentication.
