The JWT authentication feature in the App Builder plugin for WordPress provides a secure and efficient way to manage user authentication. When a user logs into the app, the login request is sent to the server, where the App Builder plugin generates a JWT token. This token is then used to authenticate and authorize user interactions with the app.

Key Features:

• Secure Token Generation: Upon successful login, the App Builder plugin generates a JWT token on the server. This token is securely signed and can be encrypted, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of user data.
• Efficient Authentication: The token is used to validate user requests and manage sessions, allowing for a stateless, scalable authentication process that minimizes server-side storage needs.
• Seamless Integration: The plugin integrates with WordPress to leverage JWT authentication, providing a smooth and secure login experience across the app.
• Token Management: JWT tokens come with expiration times, enhancing security by periodically renewing tokens and managing session lifecycles effectively.

By implementing JWT authentication, the App Builder plugin ensures that user logins are securely handled and that session management is both scalable and efficient.
