I am creating a Vue SPA, and have added @auth0/auth0-vue. My question is, should I also add auth0 on the backend server? My understanding here is limited, so I may be missing out on a more fundamental piece of info. Do I need auth0 on both sides? If not, is it secure to pass the user_id (sub) in…

You need to send the JWT token given to you by auth0-vue on the Authorization header and validate it with express-oauth2-jwt-bearer, otherwise anyone could communicate with your backend regardless of being logged in or not. See: Auth0 Node (Express) API SDK Quickstarts: Authorization

When using `@auth0/auth0-vue`, should I also setup `express-openid-connect` on the backend?
