Access Management - Record
Token
(Authentication)
A temporary digital pass that proves you are allowed to access something
What's it for?
Lets a system prove it has permission to access something without sending a password every time.
For example…
An app receives a temporary token and sends it with each request
After login, a mobile app sends a short-lived bearer token with each API request instead of repeatedly sending the user's password
Think of it like…
Wristband at a festival: you showed ID at the gate; the band lets you move around until closing time
