@Ferruginous Hawk My app is set up to create and store (access and refresh) cookies for signed in user. However, when I try to verify cookies in my Next.js middleware, I am getting some errors.
First, I used my custom `verifyToken` function, and then I directy `import jwt from "jsonwebtoken"`.
For the former, I get error that `Error in middleware: TypeError: Function has non-object prototype 'undefined' in instanceof check`
And for the latter, `Error in middleware: Error: The edge runtime does not support Node.js 'crypto' module.`

Either use the npm package Jose or change the runtime of the middleware to node.js (only working in canary afaik)
Ferruginous HawkOP
Yeah. Refactoring my code to use José instead of jsonwebtoken.
