Hi, The access token issued by Auth0 is missing the middle part. It is a JWT token and JWT tokens are made of three parts and the part called JWS payload is missing. The token looks something like this: QAIOPJhbGciOiJkaXwwiLCJlbmMiOiJBMjU2R0NNIiwiaXNzIjoiaHR0cHM6LPOPOIhc2VlLXNzby1wb2MuZXUuYXV0aDA…

This was resolved in a DM. The JWT being returned was an encrypted token ( JWE ). By passing an audience parameter it is possible to return an unencrypted JWT.

Hi @sarunas.marozas1,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

I understand you are seeing a malformed JWT.

Can you please send me a sample token you are receiving in a DM?
