# Personal Access Tokens FAQ

## Can I see a token again after I create it?

Yes. **Manage Tokens** shows each token shortened, with a copy action that copies the whole value. You can
copy it until the token expires or you delete it. See
[Copy a token or download its config file](/tir/personal-access-tokens/how-to/copy-a-token-or-download-its-config-file/).

## How long does a token last?

A token lasts 365 days from the day you create it. The **Expiry** column shows the date. See
[How Personal Access Tokens work](/tir/personal-access-tokens/concepts/how-personal-access-tokens-work/).

## Can I reuse the name of a token I deleted?

No. A token name stays taken after the token is deleted, so give the replacement a new name. See
[Create a token](/tir/personal-access-tokens/how-to/create-a-personal-access-token/).

## Why do I see only some tokens?

A token belongs to one project, and the list shows the tokens you created in the project you have open.
Open the other project to see its tokens.

## Does a token work in both Delhi and Chennai?

Yes. A call names its location, `Delhi` or `Chennai`, and the same token works in both. See
[Use a token in API calls](/tir/personal-access-tokens/how-to/use-a-token-in-api-calls/).

## Should several scripts share one token?

No. Give each tool or machine its own token. You can then delete one, for example when a laptop is lost, and
the others keep working. See
[Delete a token](/tir/personal-access-tokens/how-to/delete-a-personal-access-token/).

## Where do I find the API key for a token?

It is in the token's config file. Use the download action in **Config File** on the token's row. See
[Use a token in API calls](/tir/personal-access-tokens/how-to/use-a-token-in-api-calls/).

## What happens to my tokens if the account's email address changes?

Changing the account's primary email address removes the tokens of every project the account owns, so create
new tokens afterwards.
