The ‘JSON Web Tokens’ add-on allows outside applications to authenticate against your WordPress site using JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). This authentication mechanism prevents the need for separate usernames and passwords.
If you’re building a SaaS, your WordPress site can act as your application’s identity provider (IDP). This means you have a consistent set of users between your marketing efforts and the application. You don’t have to build out all the standard user management features such as login, registration, and password reset.
Settings
All settings for the JWT token are configurable from the settings ‘JWT’ settings page.
