Inspect JWT Claims
What problem does this tool solve?
Auth failures are difficult to debug when JWT claims are unreadable or validation context is missing.
How to use JWT Inspector

- Decode header and payload to inspect algorithm and claim values.
- Check exp, iat, iss, and aud against expected authentication settings.
FAQ: JWT Inspector
Does JWT Inspector verify token signatures?
No. It decodes claims for debugging. Signature verification must be done with the correct secret or public key.
Why does my token look valid but authentication still fails?
Common causes include issuer mismatch, audience mismatch, key rotation, or server clock drift.
Is browser-based JWT inspection safer for debugging?
Local inspection reduces exposure risk compared with sending tokens to external services.
