+# Bearer Token Authentication Plugin
+
+A Bearer Token authentication plugin for Yaak that
+implements [RFC 6750](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6750), enabling secure API
+access using tokens, API keys, and other bearer credentials.

+
+## Overview
+
+This plugin provides Bearer Token authentication support for your API requests in Yaak.
+Bearer Token authentication is widely used in modern APIs, especially those following REST
+principles and OAuth 2.0 standards. It's the preferred method for APIs that issue access
+tokens, API keys, or other bearer credentials.
+
+## How Bearer Token Authentication Works
+
+Bearer Token authentication sends your token in the `Authorization` header with each
+request using the Bearer scheme:
+
+```
+Authorization: Bearer <your-token>
+```
+
+The token is transmitted as-is without any additional encoding, making it simple and
+efficient for API authentication.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The plugin requires only one field:
+
+- **Token**: Your bearer token, access token, API key, or other credential
+- **Prefix**: The prefix to use for the Authorization header, which will be of the
+  format "<PREFIX> <TOKEN>"
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Configure the request, folder, or workspace to use Bearer Authentication
+2. Enter the token and optional prefix in the authentication configuration
+3. The plugin will automatically add the proper `Authorization` header to your requests
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **401 Unauthorized**: Verify your token is valid and not expired
+- **403 Forbidden**: Check if your token has the necessary permissions/scopes
+- **Invalid Token Format**: Ensure you're using the complete token without truncation
+- **Token Expiration**: Refresh or regenerate expired tokens
