This plugin is great! Feature request inside 🤪

I just want to first say that this is by far the best JWT plugin for headless. I’ve tried them all! I think the best feature you could add, would be support for the new Store API for WooCommerce.

No-Nonsense JWT (Excellence)

This is probably the very absolute best no-nonsense JWT plugin on WordPress. Exceptionally well documented, high customization, easy to setup, and works out of the box with basic setup. No nonsense
