Solution 1

At a guess, you're missing the Configuration property from your Startup class:

C#

public class Startup
{
    public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
    {
        Configuration = configuration;
    }

    public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }

    ...

Solution 2

use builder.Configuration["Jwt:xxxxxx"] instead of Configuration["Jwt:xxxxxx"] if you're using program.cs file.
