You learn them in parallel
Testing your software is as important as building it.

Testing helps you make informed decisions and make sure you dont brake something that works.

That being said, its not about Pytest or any other testing framework.
Its about testing itself which you need to learn and realize.

There are also diffrent kind of tests (unit tests, integration tests, end to end tests)
They all do testing, just on a diffrent scope.

So go start learning how testing software actually looks like, then you can start writing your own tests

Search online for "decode Flask session cookie". It's a handy script to have around for Flask development work.

Python

so u means any frontend user sitting on the browser side, can get the to know the original string or key value pair written on the cookie without knowing my flask's secret key, but he can't modify this value without knowing the secret key!!!
is this what u means he xan see original things but can't modify, there why not to keep otp in session cookie

Okay, it looks like, on user registration, you email them an OTP, then expect them to get it from the email and enter it on the website. In that case, you can't store it in the session cookie because, as I said above, the user can see the contents of the cookie and hence read the OTP from there instead of from the email.

Flask signs its session cookie using the secret key, so it can tell if it has been tampered with. You don't need to reimplement this. The session cookie is not encrypted, so the user can see the contents (with a simple Python script to decode it), but they can't change the value without knowing the secret key and have the server accept the cookie.

Hello i have started using the flask_login and by the some of the docs i found it say when i will use flask_login library, they say the behind the idea of login the user and later request to check if user is login alreay or not is to keep a user_id in the session of the user as a cookie in the browser storage, and later request my flask will get the id and retrieve the user object and by this it will know what the user is what his credential is.
So basic idea i will use a secret_key and store the user_id =str value in encrypted way in the browser, so that even the user try to change the cookie value by himself my flask will know that he try to modefy this so it will not valid to another user, right this concept is working like this?
i think yes what i need a confirmation if this is right ?

Guys I want to know yours opinion now, as i go to make web app with flask i found pytest is a very must needy things what do you say, should we start learning pytest before flask or how i want to make a real python ecommerce app. what is ur opinion based on flask vs pytest???

Python

Thanks for clearify this, from now i will never think to use cookie like this what i thoght in past. you have change a lot of my thinking of web dev matters.

Python

28 August 2026 03:44

Thanks for clear my confusion.
What i understand is suppose user_id is :- 1938292
so in th3 cookie it get saved as a random string like the id:- "yeiekndjsiiekwpsmnsmepw", you means any user who can see the upper random string, he can generate or see 1938292, i thought they cannot know what is written there,
so now i fully understand that i should to make a mechanism to store the otp in the backend not in cookie, as far as i understand any user maybe pro hacker type user can see what is stored in the cookie but can't change this... 😋

What are you trying to achieve with the OTP?

Python

27 August 2026 18:54

and then i listen that not keep private sensitivity data into the cookie of the user, like user request for register, and after he enter the email id, i send the otp and i need store the otp value in redis, but what would i store this in the session cookie, as they say not to store sensitivity data like otp there, so i am confused here in this scenerio, if keeping storing the user_id in the sesion is secure so why not keep session[otp_valid_for_10_minut] = 12221 liek this is so bad?
i have this problem anyone know this pls say what i should to do there

storing otp in session rather in redis is really critical, as my main login string of user_id is in the sesion coookie, why this is not bad tehre
