JWT Safety Notes

A JWT decoder helps inspect claims like issuer, subject, audience, and expiration time. Decoding a token is not the same as verifying it: a secure application must still validate the signature and expected claims on the server.

This tool is best for debugging token contents and expiration issues. Avoid sharing active tokens publicly, and rotate credentials if a sensitive token was pasted into any tool or chat by mistake.
