• A token that contains the security credentials for a login session and that identifies a user, a user’s groups, a user’s privileges, and, in some cases, a particular application. Typically, one may be asked to enter an access token (e.g., 40 random characters) rather than the usual password (an access token should therefore be kept secret just like a password). ← Wikipedia
