Many many thanks
Even I didn't test the plugin deeply, but after the 1st impression it was well-crafted. Deserve 5 stars ^^

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. It would make headless eCommerce much simpler! I had a lot of difficulty getting users instead of guests assigned to cart/checkout flow and had to write a custom extension

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 ads, either. Definitely deserving the 5-star rating across the board. Recommended.
