-# Authenticating with an NKey
+# Authenticating with User Credentials File
 
-The 2.0 version of NATS server introduced the idea of JWT-based authentication. Clients interact with this new scheme using a user JWT and the private key from an NKey pair. To help make connecting with a JWT easier, the client libraries support the concept of a credentials file. This file contains both the private key and the JWT and can be generated with the `nsc` tool. Given a creds file, a client can authenticate as a specific user belonging to a specific account:
+The 2.0 version of NATS server introduced the idea of JWT-based authentication. Clients interact with this new scheme using a user JWT and the private key from an NKey pair. To help make connecting with a JWT easier, the client libraries support the concept of a credentials file. This file contains both the private key and the JWT and can be generated with the `nsc` tool. The contents will look like the following and should be protected because it contains a private key. This creds file is unused and only for example purposes.
