Context

I ran through all the setups procedures. I can see wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/ being added and can see them through GET.

However when I try to POST to wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token, with username and password being in form data it results in 401 Authorization Required.

Any ideas how to debug this/what caused this?

@Kuro091 use JSON body:

{
  "username": "your_username",
  "password": "your_password"
}

curl --request POST \
  --url http://example.com/wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"username": "your_username", "password": "your_password"}'

@Kuro091 I've just tried in my local project with postman and from comand line (exported from postman) it worked in both.

curl --location 'http://local.example.com/wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "username":"Sebastian",
    "password":"password"
}'
