Frequently Asked Questions

Is my token uploaded?

No! Decoding happens entirely in your browser. Your tokens stay private.

Does this verify the signature?

No, this only decodes the token. Verification requires the secret key.

What is the exp claim?

Expiration time - a Unix timestamp when the token becomes invalid.

Why use JWT?

JWTs are compact, self-contained tokens for authentication and information exchange.
