1. اگر از JWE استفاده نمی‌کنید، بهتر است اطلاعات حساسی مانند شماره تلفن کاربر (و شاید در مواردی حتی آیدی کاربر) را در بدنه توکن قرار ندهیم چرا که قابل خوانده شدن است (که در این صورت استفاده از Guid برای آیدی کاربر می تواند کمی مفید باشد چرا که حداقل آیدی بقیه کاربران قابل پیش بینی نمی‌باشد).
   
2. توکن JWT هیچ امنیتی در برابر خوانده شدن ندارد؛ ولی به لطف امضای (signature) آن، در برابر تغییر محتوا، ایمن است؛ چرا که در صورت تغییر محتوای آن، دیگر مقدار hash محتوا با امضای آن همخوانی نداشته و عملا از اعتبار ساقط می‌گردد.
