Should I use a plugin to get a valid token from WordPress using the REST Api?

    Hi,
    I’d like to use WordPress as the back-end of a system that has Ionic4 as front-end.

    I can access public content using the default REST API of WordPress and this is very useful. I’ve already added custom web services for the custom content types.

    Now I have to implement the app authentication and registration and I don’t know which web services of WP to use.

    Is it possible to implement authentication (receiving a valid token) with the standard REST API or should I use this plugin?
    https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/jwt-authentication-for-wp-rest-api/

    And what about registration?

    I’m using WP 5.2.4 but I will soon update to WP 5.3.

    Any advice is welcome, thank you very much.
