    One thing to be aware of is that there is currently, AFAIK, no now (since 0.19.3) a way to “disable” a JWT.

    Before that, once you had created it, if you leaked it, your account was, as far as I can tell, definitely compromised.

    Now, it is possible to logout, to mark the JWT as “invalid”.

    I will add, as a disclaimer, that I have not checked if that as Nutomic highlighted below, there are conditions (password change, etc) under which any or all JWT (user, instance, etc) become invalid. So do audit the code if this is something that concerns you. As far as I am concerned, I treat the JWTs as extra-sensitive information, and store them only on machines I own.

    Edit: correct information in the light of Nutomic’s comments.

      The jwt is invalidated once you logout. You can also change/reset your password to invalidate all login tokens for your account.

        Invalidated how?

        You can also change/reset your password to invalidate all login tokens for your account.

        OK. I was afraid this would not be the case. Thanks for confirming.

          Well it’s deleted from the database so you can’t authenticate with it anymore.

            OK there now is a LoginToken class. This was not the case last time I checked. Good. Thanks for your answers.
