Access Token Expiration

Setting time limits on authentication tokens to enhance security.

What is Access Token Expiration?

Access token expiration ensures that authentication credentials expire after a set duration to reduce security risks.

Token expiration prevents long-lived access that could be exploited.

Best practices for token expiration include:

  • Setting short expiration times (e.g., 15 minutes for sensitive actions)
  • Implementing refresh tokens for extended authentication
  • Rotating tokens regularly to mitigate security threats

    • OAuth and JWT-based authentication systems enforce token expiration for enhanced security.
