From my understanding, when a request is made over HTTPS, the data is encrypted while it travels between the client and server, providing security against eavesdropping or tampering. However, the payload (request body, headers, etc.) is visible in the browser's developer tools, particularly in the Network tab. Is there a way to hide or obscure this information as well?

How can I manage authentication and protect credentials using the Custom token login or JWT login?

React.

TL;DR
To hide credentials during authentication in a secure way, use Custom token login or JWT login methods. While HTTPS encrypts data in transit, credentials can still be seen in the browser's developer tools. Implementing custom token or JWT login provides an additional layer of security to manage authentication and protect sensitive information.
