FAQ

• Where's support for tokens in cookies?
  I mostly forked fastapi-jwt-auth because I needed a library to use for authentication using PASETO tokens in my private FastAPI Application. Which is why I only kept the functionality that I personally required.
  Personally, I'm not a fan of saving data in cookies, and cookie support made up a big part of the code which just didn't make sense for me to bother adapting.
  Hence, I likely will not be implementing support for storing PASETO tokens in cookies unless there is a considerable amount of people wanting it.
  However, I will gladly accept PRs implementing tokens in cookies if someone else wants to implement it.
