Frequently Asked Questions
Which signing algorithm does the generator use?
It creates tokens signed with HS256, a symmetric HMAC algorithm using your shared secret.
Is my secret sent anywhere?
No, the token is signed locally in your browser so your secret never leaves your device.
How do I set an expiry on the token?
Add an exp claim to the payload with a Unix timestamp for when the token should stop being valid.
