# JWT
JSON Web Token (JWT) is an internet standard for creating access tokens based on JSON.
## Configuration
```py
from fastapi_users.authentication import JWTAuthentication
SECRET = "SECRET"
auth_backends = []
jwt_authentication = JWTAuthentication(secret=SECRET, lifetime_seconds=3600))
auth_backends.append(jwt_authentication)
```
As you can see, instantiation is quite simple. You just have to define a constant `SECRET` which is used to encode the token and the lifetime of token (in seconds).
!!! tip
You can also optionally define the `name`. It's useful in the case you wish to have several backends of the same class. Each backend should have a unique name. **Defaults to `jwt`**.
```py
jwt_authentication = JWTAuthentication(
secret=SECRET,
lifetime_seconds=3600,
name="my-jwt",
)
```
## Login
This method will return a JWT token upon successful login:
!!! success "`200 OK`"
```json
{
"access_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoiOTIyMWZmYzktNjQwZi00MzcyLTg2ZDMtY2U2NDJjYmE1NjAzIiwiYXVkIjoiZmFzdGFwaS11c2VyczphdXRoIiwiZXhwIjoxNTcxNTA0MTkzfQ.M10bjOe45I5Ncu_uXvOmVV8QxnL-nZfcH96U90JaocI",
"token_type": "bearer"
}
```
> Check documentation about [login route](../../usage/routes.md#post-loginname).
## Logout
This backend does not provide a logout method (a JWT is valid until it expires).
## Authentication
This method expects that you provide a `Bearer` authentication with a valid JWT.
```bash
curl http://localhost:9000/protected-route -H'Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoiOTIyMWZmYzktNjQwZi00MzcyLTg2ZDMtY2U2NDJjYmE1NjAzIiwiYXVkIjoiZmFzdGFwaS11c2VyczphdXRoIiwiZXhwIjoxNTcxNTA0MTkzfQ.M10bjOe45I5Ncu_uXvOmVV8QxnL-nZfcH96U90JaocI'
```
## Next steps
We will now configure the main **FastAPI Users** object that will expose the [routers](../routers/index.md).
