WP Login and Register using JWT

The WordPress Login and Register using JWT plugin allows you to log in (Single Sign-On) into your WordPress application using the JWT token(JSON Web token) obtained from any other WordPress site or other applications/platforms including mobile applications. This helps users perform autologin to WordPress and synchronize user sessions without the need to log in again.

WORDPRESS SINGLE SIGN-ON / SSO ( LOGIN INTO WORDPRESS )
WordPress Single Sign-On SSO also simply called WordPress SSO allows you to login into WordPress using the credentials of other platforms. So, the user will just use a single set of credentials to log in to multiple applications.

WordPress Single Sign-On / SSO using JWT(JSON Web Token)
WordPress Single Sign-On (SSO) with JWT allows you to log into the WordPress site using the user-based JWT token obtained externally when the user authenticates for the first time in any connected external application.
The JWT token authentication is the most popular way of authentication nowadays as it is a secure and lightweight protocol. The JWT token can be obtained either when a user logs into other platforms via OAuth/OpenID Connect protocol or can be created explicitly using the user information and secure algorithms.
With this plugin, you can easily use the user-based JWT token to log a user in rather than asking them to authenticate again.

Let’s take an example – If you have a WordPress site and mobile app, now if you are logged into the mobile app, now if you try to access the WordPress site, then to access the particular content, the WordPress site will ask for login again and which is not feasible, so with the JWT SSO (JWT Single Sign-On), you can create the JWT token for the user who is already logged into the mobile app and then on accessing the WordPress site, you can pass that JWT token in the request, using which the same user can authenticate and autologin to the WordPress site and hence won’t need to enter the credentials again.

It supports possibly all kinds of JWT tokens (access-token/id-token) obtained from OAuth/OpenID Connect providers like AWS Cognito, Microsoft Azure AD, Azure B2C, Okta, Keycloak, ADFS, Google, Facebook, Apple, Discord and popular applications like Firebase.

WordPress login using the JWT also called JWT SSO (Single Sign-On) can be done from other platforms and applications including mobile apps (android or IOS), an app built with other programming languages like .NET, JAVA, PHP, JS etc.
