Authentication Tokens

Authentication tokens are digital keys used to verify a person's identity online. When you log into a website, it checks your information and, if it's correct, issues a token. This token acts like a VIP pass, allowing you to access secured areas without needing to enter your password repeatedly. It typically has a limited lifespan for security reasons, meaning you may have to log in again after some time. Tokens enhance security by reducing the risk of password theft and simplifying the login process across various services.
