I researched this a while ago when I was curious if you could put auth tokens as query params.

One of the major issues is that many logging applications will log the full url somewhere, so now your logging 'passwords'.

You can definitely pass JWT as a query param (and often are in embedded scenarios) and no its not the same as logging passwords unless you literally place the password in the payload (which would be stupid).
