WPGraphQL JWT Authentication
Adds JWT-based authentication to WPGraphQL for WordPress, enabling secure user login and token management.
What is WPGraphQL JWT Authentication?
WPGraphQL JWT Authentication is a WordPress plugin that adds JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication to WPGraphQL. It enables secure user login, registration, and token refresh via GraphQL mutations, allowing headless WordPress setups to implement stateless authentication for modern frontends. The plugin solves the need for token-based auth in decoupled WordPress architectures.
WordPress developers building headless or decoupled sites with WPGraphQL, especially those using React, Vue, or other JavaScript frameworks that require secure API authentication.
Developers choose this plugin because it seamlessly integrates JWT authentication into WPGraphQL's schema, offering a standardized, secure alternative to WordPress cookies for headless setups. Its simplicity, extensibility via filters, and focus on short-lived tokens make it a robust solution for modern authentication workflows.
