Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are currently using Basic Auth Tokens as a first iteration. However, JWTs provide a more robust solution

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement JWT Authentication. Manage tokens and refresh tokens

Describe alternatives you've considered
Keeping basic auth tokens

Additional context
Basic Auth Tokens provides a foundation on which to iterate and implement JWT. However, the API is proving to be limited- including poor feedback on user sign out. (With the current Basic Auth module, it provides a success message regardless of whether the logout was truly successful)
