Access Token Expiry or Validity period/time

    Hi ,

    Please check the link below https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/oauth2/

    In the link under the Receiving an Access Token section under required parameters it is motioned as follow

    response_type can be “code” or “token”. “Code” should be used for server side applications where you can guarantee that secrets will be stored securely. These tokens do not expire. “Token” should be used for client-side applications. This is called “Implicit OAuth”.  Tokens currently last two weeks and users will need to authenticate with your app once the token expires. Tokens are returned via the hash/fragment of the URL.

    My query is does the “token” expires or not ?

    If it does what is the validity period/time ? After how long does it expires ?

    Regards,

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi, as shown in the section of the document you quoted above (https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/oauth2/) the client-side token expires after 2 weeks.
