What could be the issue?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. I use Auth0 for signin in users. You have to check the algorithm type.

If you're using Auth0 then go to

Client -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> OAuth

and check the algorithm type. It has to be HS256.

If you're not using Auth0 then check the algorithm type also.
