Unlike basic JWT plugins that use single long-lived tokens, JWT Auth Pro implements modern OAuth 2.0 security best practices with short-lived access tokens and secure refresh tokens.
<h4>Why JWT Auth Pro?</h4>
The Problem with Basic JWT Plugins: 
* Long-lived tokens (24h+) = Higher security risk 
* No refresh mechanism = Tokens live until expiry 
* XSS vulnerable = Tokens stored in localStorage 
* No revocation = Can’t invalidate compromised tokens
JWT Auth Pro Solution: 
* Short-lived access tokens (1h default) = Minimal attack window 
* Secure refresh tokens = HTTP-only cookies, XSS protected 
* Automatic token rotation = Fresh tokens on each refresh 
* Complete session control = Revoke any user session instantly
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Simple JWT Authentication – Clean, stateless token-based auth</li>
<li>HTTPOnly Refresh Tokens – Secure refresh tokens in HTTP-only cookies</li>
<li>Token Rotation – Automatic refresh token rotation for enhanced security</li>
<li>CORS Support – Proper cross-origin request handling</li>
<li>Clean Admin Interface – Simple configuration in WordPress admin</li>
<li>Developer Friendly – Clear endpoints and documentation</li>
</ul>
