What you can do

  • Decode header and payload JSON
  • View signature segment separately
  • Client-side decoding only (no signature verification)

Security habits that matter

Treat generated secrets and decoded tokens as sensitive. Prefer unique values for every account or service, and never paste production secrets into shared chats.

Browser-side tools are convenient for inspection, but they do not replace proper storage, rotation, and verification in your systems.

  • Use a password manager for storage
  • Rotate secrets after accidental exposure
  • Prefer long random values over short memorable ones
