# Code Explanation
"""
This function generates a random JWT token using the PyJWT library. It takes a key and a payload as inputs, and an optional algorithm parameter with a default value of 'HS256'. It generates a random secret key using the `random.choices` function to ensure the key is unique for each token generation. The `jwt.encode` function is then used to create the JWT token with the provided key, payload, and algorithm.
"""

# Technical Stack Explanation
"""
The code uses the PyJWT library for JWT token generation. It utilizes the `jwt` module to encode the payload with a randomly generated key and a specified algorithm. The `random` module is used to generate a random key.
