Why Use This?

Creating JWT secrets manually is error-prone and often results in weak keys.

This package uses Node.js's built-in crypto module to generate cryptographically secure random secrets suitable for:

• JWT Access Tokens
• JWT Refresh Tokens
• Session Secrets
• API Secret Keys
• Environment Variables

Example

Add the generated value to your .env file:

JWT_SECRET=your_generated_secret

Then use it in your application:

const token = jwt.sign(payload, process.env.JWT_SECRET);

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
