What is ID Token?
An ID Token is a special type of security token used in OpenID Connect (OIDC). It carries identity details about the user, such as who they are and how they logged in. The token is formatted as a JSON Web Token (JWT) and is digitally signed by the identity provider (IdP). This makes sure the information is secure and can’t be tampered with. In identity management, ID Tokens are key for single sign-on (SSO). They help create secure sessions and give users a smooth login experience across apps and platforms.
