Can this tool verify whether an expired JWT token is valid?

Yes. The inspector parses the "exp" (expiration) and "nbf" (not before) claims, displaying a real-time countdown to exact expiration and highlighting expired tokens in red.

Does decoding a JWT require the signing secret key?

No. The Header and Payload in standard JWTs are Base64URL encoded and can be read by anyone. The secret key is only required if you wish to verify the cryptographic digital signature.
