JWT Auth Pro
from$59.99a yearThe missing control layer!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.
Both add JWT to WordPress. The difference is what happens after the token is issued.
The free plugin issues and validates JWT tokens. That is it. Who holds them, where they are used, how to kill one: not its department.
Stay on free if you only need to generate and validate tokens for a small project.
Free foreverPro tracks every token, logs every access, and lets you revoke instantly.
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 $59.99/yrEach is something the free plugin doesn't ship with, and something you'd otherwise build, debug, and maintain yourself.
“I need refresh tokens.”
Keep users logged in without storing passwords. Secure 64-character refresh tokens with family tracking detect replay attacks automatically.
“I need to revoke any token instantly.”
Revoke any token in a single click. Stop a compromised session from hitting your API before the next request lands.
“I need automatic protection on credential changes.”
Tokens auto-revoke when a user changes their password, email, or role — so one leaked credential never leaves the API wide open.
“I need to see every token at a glance.”
Every active token in one dashboard — owner, expiry, last activity, country of origin. No more guessing which app still holds a session.
“I need API analytics and rate limiting.”
Success and failure rates, response times, 7/30/90-day windows. Built-in IP rate limiting and automatic security headers on every response.
“I need a UI instead of custom code.”
Drop your secret key into wp-config.php once. Everything else — signing algorithm, token lifetime, CORS, retention policy — lives in WordPress admin instead of code.
Sixty features in all. Here are the powers you'll use every day.
Every active token in one view: who owns it, when it was issued, when it expires, last activity. Revoke with one click. Go on, try it!
IP-based, 60 req/min by default (configurable). Past the limit: HTTP 429. No nginx config required.
add_filter('jwt_auth_token_before_sign', function($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);Add custom claims to JWT tokens using WordPress filters. 30+ developer hooks and filters come with every plan.
Tokens auto-revoke on password change, email change, or role change. One compromised account doesn't mean open API access.
Complete compliance logging with full context.
Authentication events, success and failure rates, response times, geographic distribution.
Drop your secret key into wp-config.php once. Everything else lives in WordPress admin.
Chosen in the settings UI, or via the jwt_auth_algorithm filter.
Works with React, Vue, Flutter, mobile apps, or any client.
POST /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/tokenAuthenticate users and issue tokens with a single API call.
POST /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token/validateSignature check, claims validation, expiration status.
POST /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token/refreshAuto renewal, lifecycle management, session continuity.
Read left to right, top to bottom. It really is this short.
Download the Pro zip from your account, upload through Plugins → Add New.
Paste the key once. Local and staging installs don't count against the quota.
Drop your secret key into wp-config.php once; pick signing algorithm, token lifetime, CORS, retention from the admin UI.
Refresh tokens, auto-revoke rules, analytics, rate limiting. Each is a single checkbox.
Hit your API; watch tokens appear live with owner, expiry, IP, country.
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.
THE MAILBAG. Real reviews of the free plugin from WordPress.org, printed exactly as our readers wrote them.
Easy, stable, powerful, extensible
Allowed me to get up and running with a Vue.js frontend authentication flow within minutes. Really great documentation too!
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.
High quality plugin
Delivers what is promised. And that's quite comprehensive list of features. Recommended.
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!
Simply perfect!
I integrated it with my Flutter app, and it works flawlessly.
Perfect
Does exactly what it states! Have been using this plugin for about a year now and haven't had any problems!
You've got questions. I've got the keys.
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.
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.
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).
No. Local and staging environments do not count against your quota.
Yes. Every plan has a yearly and a lifetime option; lifetime is a one-time payment.
No traditional trial, but the 14-day compatibility guarantee covers the only risk that matters: whether Pro runs on your stack.
PHP 8.1+, WordPress 5.0+ with the REST API enabled, HTTP Authorization header enabled on the server.
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.
By default all of that user's tokens are revoked. Each rule can be toggled independently and customized with filters.
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.
The free plugin generates tokens and walks away. Pro tracks every token, logs every access, and lets you revoke instantly.
