“I need refresh tokens.”
Keep users logged in without storing passwords. Secure 64-character refresh tokens with family tracking detect replay attacks automatically.
Token Refresh + Replay Detection
Production-grade
JWT Auth for WordPress developers.
JWT Auth Pro adds the missing control layer to the free JWT plugin you're already running: a token dashboard, refresh tokens, instant revocation, audit logs, and rate limiting — managed from wp-admin, without rebuilding your existing auth flow.
Built on our free JWT plugin — trusted by 60,000+ active installs and backed by a 14-day compatibility guarantee.

wp-admin > JWT Auth Pro
Both add JWT to WordPress. The difference is what happens after the token is issued.
The free plugin generates tokens and walks away. Pro tracks every token, logs every access, and lets you revoke instantly.

Six things developers say right before they upgrade.
Each is something the free plugin doesn't ship with — and something you'd otherwise build, debug, and maintain yourself.
“I need to revoke any token instantly.”
Revoke any token in a single click. Stop a compromised session from hitting your API before the next request lands.
Instant Revocation
“I need automatic protection on credential changes.”
Tokens auto-revoke when a user changes their password, email, or role — so one leaked credential never leaves the API wide open.
Auto-Revoke Rules
“I need to see every token at a glance.”
Every active token in one dashboard — owner, expiry, last activity, country of origin. No more guessing which app still holds a session.
Token Dashboard + GeoIP
“I need API analytics and rate limiting.”
Success and failure rates, response times, 7/30/90-day windows. Built-in IP rate limiting and automatic security headers on every response.
Analytics + Rate Limiting
“I need a UI instead of custom code.”
Drop your secret key into wp-config.php once. Everything else — signing algorithm, token lifetime, CORS, retention policy — lives in WordPress admin instead of code.
Configuration via WP Admin
Not just authentication. Complete token control.
Everything below is a working toy. Smash the buttons — that's what they're for.

Every active token in one view.
Who owns it, when it was issued, when it expires, and its last activity. Revoke with one click — the session is dead before the next request lands.
add_filter('jwt_auth_token_before_sign', function($token, $user) {
$token['customer_type'] = get_user_meta($user->ID, 'customer_type', true);

}, 10, 2);Custom Claims
Add custom claims to JWT tokens using WordPress filters. One filter, and your token carries whatever your client needs.

Bought it. Now what? Six steps, in this order.
From zip file to live token dashboard, with a safety net at the end.
Install Pro
Download the Pro zip from your account, upload through Plugins → Add New.
Activate your license
Paste the key once. Local and staging installs don't count against the quota.
Configure JWT
Drop your secret key into wp-config.php once; pick signing algorithm, token lifetime, CORS, retention from the admin UI.
Enable Pro features
Refresh tokens, auto-revoke rules, analytics, rate limiting. Each is a single checkbox.
Verify in the token dashboard
Hit your API; watch tokens appear live with owner, expiry, IP, country.
14-day compatibility safety net
Support reaches the plugin author directly. If Pro can't be made to work on your stack, you get a refund.
“Most teams have Pro running before they refill their coffee.”
60,000+ sites trust our authentication.
Real reviews of the free plugin from WordPress.org — the foundation Pro is built on.
Perfect to use for API
JWT is brillant and it works out of the box. Further to this is it really stable and does it job.
Easy, stable, powerful, extensible
Allowed me to get up and running with a Vue.js frontend authentication flow within minutes. Really great documentation too!
High quality plugin
Delivers what is promised. And that's quite comprehensive list of features. Recommended.
Simply perfect!
I integrated it with my Flutter app, and it works flawlessly.
Very useful plugin
I'm using this plugin since some months and it works perfectly, a simple way to authenticate from ext. apps
Exactly as described, very easy to use and clear documentation. Thank you
Great plugin!
I've been using the plugin for over year, it's very good and user friendly!
Perfect
Does exactly what it states! Have been using this plugin for about a year now and haven't had any problems!
Simple, site-based pricing — every plan is full Pro.
Pick how many sites. That's the whole decision.
Every plan includes the lot.

Requires PHP 8.1+ and WordPress 5.0+
What does Pro do that the free plugin does not?
The free plugin issues and validates JWT tokens — that is it. Pro adds the production layer most teams build by hand: token dashboard, refresh tokens with replay-attack detection, instant and automatic revocation, analytics over 7/30/90 days, IP-based rate limiting, automatic security headers, configurable signing algorithms, GDPR-friendly data retention. Aside from the secret key in wp-config.php, every Pro setting is managed from the WordPress admin UI.
Does this plugin work out of the box?
Yes. Pro adds a professional JWT layer on top of the WP REST API: create, validate, refresh, revoke tokens so users can authenticate from mobile apps, SPAs, or any external system. You still implement the calling logic in those clients.
What happens if Pro does not work on my setup?
Every plan includes a 14-day compatibility guarantee. Open a support ticket and we work the issue with you directly. If Pro genuinely cannot run on your stack, you get a refund (processor fees, typically 3–5%, are deducted).
Does a local install count as a site for my license?
No. Local and staging environments do not count against your quota.
Do you offer lifetime access?
Yes. Every plan has a yearly and a lifetime option; lifetime is a one-time payment.
Do you offer a free trial?
No traditional trial, but the 14-day compatibility guarantee covers the only risk that matters: whether Pro runs on your stack.
What are the system requirements?
PHP 8.1+, WordPress 5.0+ with the REST API enabled, HTTP Authorization header enabled on the server.
How does token refresh work?
On login the client gets an access token (default 7 days) and a refresh token (default 30 days). When the access token expires the client exchanges the refresh token for a new one without re-prompting the user. Refresh tokens are 64 characters, tracked as a family, and detect replay attacks automatically.
What happens to tokens when a user changes password, email, or role?
By default all of that user's tokens are revoked. Each rule can be toggled independently and customized with filters.
What signing algorithms are supported?
HS256/384/512, RS256/384/512, ES256/384/512, PS256/384/512, EdDSA; chosen in the settings UI or via the jwt_auth_algorithm filter.
Stop letting tokens walk away.
Track every token, log every access, revoke instantly — on the JWT plugin you're already running. Backed by a 14-day compatibility guarantee.
