if bearerHeader is something like Bearer 456513 then your code

bearerHeader.replace(Bearer,);

will result: 456513 (there are space before the token)

bearerHeader.replace('Bearer ','');

may solve your issue but I recommend to verify the authentification scheme first (Bearer term is really Bearer):

 var parts = bearerHeader.split(' ');

 if (parts.length === 2) {

   var scheme = parts[0];

   var credentials = parts[1];



   if (/^Bearer$/i.test(scheme)) {

     token = credentials;

     //verify token

     jwt.verify(token, 'super secret', function(err, decoded) {

     }

   }

}
