In plain words
A JSON Web Token is a signed pass the server hands out when someone logs in. Every later request carries that pass, and the server checks the signature before doing anything.

How the system knows who is asking: signed tokens that prove a login without keeping your password anywhere near the request.
A JSON Web Token is a signed pass the server hands out when someone logs in. Every later request carries that pass, and the server checks the signature before doing anything.
Nobody can hand themselves an admin pass: a token that was altered by even one character fails its signature check.
We give the pass a short life and keep a separate refresh token, so a stolen one is useless within minutes, and signing a user out — or changing their password — invalidates their sessions everywhere.
