Start with the jwt.sign call shown in the issue and verify what happens when expiresIn is omitted. Document the resulting expiration behavior in the relevant project documentation, with an example that makes the default clear.

Description
Description
Currently, client can get a client via jwt signing withouth passing a expiresIn attribute. For example,
import jwt from "jsonwebtoken"
const secret = jwt.sign({ a: "a" }, "secret")
console.log(secret)
So what's the default expiring date of the generated token? like after 24 hours, or it never expires?
