How to validate token from using "Login Using the Authorization Code Flow"

[rueben.tiow]

Hi @alexandru.dan,

Thanks for reaching out to the Auth0 Community!

I understand that you have questions about getting an access token for validation.

@alexandru.dan

Now how do I do that with the access token I got from using the code flow method? When I paste it inside the jwt.io it has no body and invalid signature.

From what I can tell, it seems that you have obtained an opaque access token, which cannot be decoded with jwt.io. In this case, you can directly use that opaque access token to call the /userinfo endpoint. See the Opaque Access Tokens documentation to learn more.

Let me add that the audience parameter must be specified to get an access token in the JWT format.

I hope this helps!

Please reach out if you have any additional questions.

Thank you.
