Frequently Asked Questions

Can anyone decode a JWT?+
Yes. The header and payload of a JWT are simply Base64-encoded, not encrypted. Anyone with the token can read its contents. The signature only guarantees the data hasn't been tampered with - it does not provide confidentiality.
What does the expiration date mean?+
The "exp" claim is a Unix timestamp indicating when the token expires. After this time, the server should reject the token. This tool automatically checks if your token is currently valid or expired.
