Personal Access Tokens FAQ

Can I see a token again after I create it?

Section titled “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.

A token lasts 365 days from the day you create it. The Expiry column shows the date. See How Personal Access Tokens work.

Can I reuse the name of a token I deleted?

Section titled “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.

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?

Section titled “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.

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.

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.

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

Section titled “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.
