The control layer for the free JWT plugin

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.

0requests served
0tokens revoked

Click any token on the belt — or pull the lever — to revoke it.

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.

Stay on free if…

you only need to generate and validate tokens for a small project.

Free forever

Upgrade to Pro if…

you need to inspect, refresh, revoke, audit, and rate-limit tokens in production — from the WP admin, without custom code.

Starts at $59.99/yr

Six reasons developers move from free to Pro.

Each is something the free plugin doesn't ship with — and something you'd otherwise build, debug, and maintain yourself.

“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

“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.

Step inside each station of the machine. All 60 features are managed from wp-admin.

Token Dashboard

Every active token in one view: who owns it, when it was issued, when it expires, last activity. Revoke with one click — try it in the panel.

Custom Claims

Stamp your own data into every token. Add custom claims to JWT tokens using WordPress filters — one of 30+ developer hooks & filters.

functions.php
add_filter('jwt_auth_token_before_sign', function($token, $user) {
    $token['customer_type'] = get_user_meta($user->ID, 'customer_type', true);
    $token['loyalty_points'] = get_user_meta($user->ID, 'loyalty_points', true);
    $token['preferred_currency'] = get_user_meta($user->ID, 'currency', true);
    return $token;
}, 10, 2);

Automatic Revocation Policies

One compromised account doesn't mean open API access. Each rule toggles independently.

  • Revoke on password change
  • Revoke on email change
  • Revoke on role change

Security Audit Trail

Complete compliance logging with full context.

Questions, answered.

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 off the belt unwatched.

Add the dashboard, the refresh loop, the trapdoor and the turnstile to the JWT plugin you already run. Backed by a 14-day compatibility guarantee.
