CUse OAuth2PasswordBearer only in the main app instance without dependencies

DSkip token verification and rely on client-side checks

Solution:

Step 1: Understand reusable dependency pattern
Creating a function that uses OAuth2PasswordBearer to get the token and verifies the user allows reuse across routes.
Step 2: Apply Depends to routes

Final Answer:
Create a reusable dependency function that uses OAuth2PasswordBearer to get the token and verifies the user, then use Depends on routes -> Option A
Quick Check:
Reusable dependency + Depends = efficient protection [OK]

Quick Trick: Make one verify function and reuse with Depends on routes [OK]
