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

<li><code>POST /wp-json/jwt/v1/logout</code> – Logout and revoke refresh token</li>
</ul>
<h3>Security</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Stateless Authentication</strong> – JWT tokens contain all necessary information</li>
<li><strong>HTTPOnly Cookies</strong> – Refresh tokens stored securely, inaccessible to JavaScript</li>
<li><strong>Token Rotation</strong> – Refresh tokens automatically rotate on use</li>
<li><strong>Configurable Expiration</strong> – Set custom expiration times</li>
<li><strong>IP & User Agent Tracking</strong> – Additional security metadata</li>
</ul>
