No problem, happy to help where I can!

A couple things:

  • Is there a specific reason you are looking to use HS256 as opposed to RS256 signing algorithm? RS256 in generally preferred.

  • Is your API set to use HS256 in settings? You should be able to check by navigating your API registered in Auth0 and scrolling down to Token Settings.
