Simple Authentication Method

Extends the WP REST API using JSON Web Tokens Authentication as an authentication method. JSON Web Tokens are an open, industry standard method for representing claims securely between two parties. This plugin provides a simple and secure way to authenticate users and protect your API endpoints.

Easy Installation and Configuration

This plugin is built on top of the WP REST API V2 and requires the minimum PHP version 7.4.0. It also provides support for enabling the PHP HTTP Authorization Header and configuring CORs support. With just a few simple steps, you can install, activate, and configure this plugin to start using JSON Web Tokens for authentication.

Secure Token Generation

Once the plugin is activated, it adds a new namespace and two new endpoints to the WP REST API. The "/jwt-auth/v1/token" endpoint is used to generate a token by validating user credentials. The generated token can then be stored and used for future API requests. This plugin also provides error handling for invalid tokens, ensuring secure authentication for your API.

It breaks APIs that don't require authorization.

Such as WordPress's posts endpoint and WooCommerce's endpoint.

By Ahmed Hnewa (ahmedriyadh) on February 11, 2021

I was confused about choosing the jwt plugin. There are 3 versions, the first has not been updated for 6 months and the second has not been updated for two months, the first has not worked, the second has unclear instructions and has some defects despite the presence of a dashboard, and this add-on has not been updated for two years But when I saw that it was updated a day ago, I decided to use it and all the problems that I was facing were resolved. I ask the add-on developers to update them every period, but there is something unclear, how can I amend the token expiry time? Thanks
