How to get the JWT encryption key to enter into the general settings field

  • Nowhere in all this plugin’s docs does it tell you what to enter into the field in the general settings labeled “JWT Encryption Key” or which algorithm to use. After setting up this plugin and going through all the docs, I still get an invalid cr3dentials error with every attempt to get an auth token. Since you never explain how to get the JWT Encryption Key, can you please explain that part first. Thank you.

    Hello @bikerflyeradmin,

    The “JWT Encryption Key” can be any string.

    If you are using an external JWT, you need to add to the JWT Encryption key the secret that was used to encrypt your JWT.

    So basically, if you encrypt the JWT, with a secret “my-secret”, on the Simple-JWT-Login plugin, you will need to add “my-secret” in the JWT Encryption Key.

    Also, I will prepare a documentation page for this, and a small tutorial on how JWTs work.

    Best regards,
    Nicu.
