This shows the decoded JSON Web Token. In the deserialized form, JWT contains only the header and the payload as plain JSON objects.

JWT is implemented using JWS or JWE. Learn more about JWT [here](https://jwt.io/)

## JWS — JSON Web Signature

JWS is used to represent content secured with digital signatures or Hash-based Message Authentication Codes (HMACs) with the help of JSON data structures. It cryptographically secures a JWS Header and JWS Payload with a JWS Signature. The encoded strings of these three are concatenated using dots similar to JWT. The identifiers and algorithms used are specified in the JSON Web Algorithms specification.

This is our final JWT, containing the Header, Payload, and Signature joined together with dots. It can be passed as a URL parameter, a POST parameter, or in the  HTTP header to authenticate or exchange information.

You can play around with JWT using our [JWT SSO Tool.](https://jwt.io/)

Note: JWT does not hide information; it just encodes information using the digitally-signed signature and verifies that the information has not been altered over the network. So, do not add any sensitive information in the JWT claim.

- **Weak authentication:** An average gamer needs to manage multiple accounts for multiple games. This means that players must remember multiple passwords for all of these games. As a result, they end up with weaker passwords or reusing the same password for multiple accounts. This, of course, makes hacking a gamer’s account “child’s play.”
