Manage WordPress JWT Tokens & RESTful API Authentication

This video discusses the integration of JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication with WordPress, highlighting the simplicity and power it brings, particularly when programmatically authenticating users through the RESTful API.

The video emphasizes the use of Advanced Access Manager (AAM) to efficiently manage JWT tokens. AAM allows users to create and customize tokens, specifying details such as expiration and refreshability. The tutorial also underscores the importance of not storing sensitive information in JWT tokens due to security concerns. It provides insights into technical attributes like revocability and demonstrates token usage with Postman, showcasing how authentication headers can be employed for seamless access to WordPress features.

In addition to token management, the video explores AAM's features, including a developer SDK for programmatic token handling. The demonstration includes passwordless authentication, allowing users to access WordPress without traditional username and password input.
