After a long investigation, I was able to find a solution and according to the documentation if you want to use JWT in django-rest-auth.

They shared one link which is not working actual link is:

https://jpadilla.github.io/django-rest-framework-jwt/

After installing django-rest-auth.

You need to install django-rest-framework-jwt using:

pip install djangorestframework-jwt

And it will work fine if you want to access this URL:

/rest-auth/user/ (GET, PUT, PATCH) 

You need to pass JWT instead of Bearer example:

 curl -X GET http://localhost:8000/rest-auth/user/ -H 'Authorization: JWT <jwt-toke>'

And it worked for me.
