Hi! Wya was the option to modify and re-sign JWT’s removed from jwt [dot] io ? Is there a plan to add it back? It was quite a useful function for testing, saved you some manual work during development. Anyone know where to find such a function, on jwt [dot] io or some other web page? (Before I get answers about the need and the bad security practice to use the private/full HS key on a web service to generate JWT’s, this page is really use for debugging and development so of course one should use a burner-key.) (I’m also aware that I can script this, but that goes for validating too, and still jwt [dot] io is super useful I think!) ---

Hi @andreas-lundgren-tel Welcome to the Auth0 Community! Apologies for the late reply to your question. I will ask our [JWT.io](http://JWT.io) engineering team and will come back to you as soon as I have more insight into this change. Thanks! Dawid
