विवरण
Unlike basic JWT plugins that use single long-lived tokens, JWT Auth Pro implements modern OAuth 2.0 security best practices with short-lived access tokens and secure refresh tokens.
Why JWT Auth Pro?
The Problem with Basic JWT Plugins:
* Long-lived tokens (24h+) = Higher security risk
* No refresh mechanism = Tokens live until expiry
* XSS vulnerable = Tokens stored in localStorage
* No revocation = Can’t invalidate compromised tokens
JWT Auth Pro Solution:
* Short-lived access tokens (1h default) = Minimal attack window
* Secure refresh tokens = HTTP-only cookies, XSS protected
* Automatic token rotation = Fresh tokens on each refresh
* Complete session control = Revoke any user session instantly
Features
- Simple JWT Authentication – Clean, stateless token-based auth
- HTTPOnly Refresh Tokens – Secure refresh tokens in HTTP-only cookies
- Token Rotation – Automatic refresh token rotation for enhanced security
- CORS Support – Proper cross-origin request handling
- Clean Admin Interface – Simple configuration in WordPress admin
- Developer Friendly – Clear endpoints and documentation
