Smooch认证异常：JWT正常但key_id/secret认证失败，求兼容或回退方案

Hey there, let's tackle your Smooch API authentication questions head on:

Can I enable both JWT and Key ID/Secret authentication at the same time? #

Short answer: No. Smooch's API doesn't support running both authentication methods simultaneously for a single app. Once you switch to JWT authentication, the system automatically disables the Key ID/Secret authentication flow — that's exactly why your current Key/Secret requests are failing.

How do I revert back to using Key ID/Secret authentication? #

If you need to switch back to the traditional Key ID/Secret setup, follow these straightforward steps:

• Log into your Smooch admin dashboard and navigate to your app's settings page
• Locate the Authentication configuration section
• Disable the JWT authentication mode and toggle back to the Key ID/Secret option
• Save your changes, wait a few minutes for the settings to propagate, and then you should be able to use your Key ID and Secret for API requests again

Why is my Key ID/Secret authentication failing right now? #

The primary reason is that JWT authentication is still active for your app — Smooch locks out the Key/Secret method once JWT is enabled. That said, it's worth doing a quick double-check:

• Ensure your Key ID and Secret are copied correctly (no extra spaces, typos, or formatting errors)
• Verify that the credentials haven't been revoked or expired in your Smooch dashboard
