Frequently asked questions
Is decoding a JWT the same as verifying it?
No. Anyone can decode a JWT payload. Its signature, algorithm, audience, issuer, expiry, and revocation must be checked by a trusted verifier.
What can I inspect?
The JSON header, payload claims, issued-at time, not-before time, expiration timestamp, and whether a signature section exists.
Are tokens uploaded?
JWT decoding runs entirely in your browser. Avoid pasting real authentication tokens into third-party websites because they are sensitive credentials.
