 An `ExpressJwtRequest` type is provided which extends `express.Request` with the `auth` property.
 
 ```typescript
-import { expressjwt, ExpressJwtRequest } from "express-jwt";
+import { expressjwt, Request as JWTRequest } from "express-jwt";
 
 app.get(
   "/protected",
   expressjwt({ secret: "shhhhhhared-secret", algorithms: ["HS256"] }),

-If you use `credentialsRequired: false` then use `ExpressJwtRequestUnrequired`. This type defines `req.auth` as optional, example:
-
-```typescript
-import { expressjwt, ExpressJwtRequest } from "express-jwt";

-app.get(
-  "/protected",
-  expressjwt({
-    secret: "shhhhhhared-secret",
