JWT_PRIVATE_KEY NOT IN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES.

Hello I am new to convex, and just wanted to try it, but I keep getting this error below.

• I added it to the .env and .env.local but the issue still persists.
• I am using Windows 10.
• Am I missing something?

error:

5/21/2025, 1:06:12 PM [CONVEX A(auth:signIn)] Uncaught Error: Uncaught Error: Missing environment variable `JWT_PRIVATE_KEY`

Hi @chirani,

To use Convex auth, you'll need to store your JWT_PRIVATE_KEY and JWKS in your deployment's environment variables page, not .env.

Instructions for generating the keys are here: https://labs.convex.dev/auth/setup/manual#configure-private-and-public-key

Let me know if you have any more questions / run into another issue!

Thank you @atrakh I appreciate the help.
