# Token Management

> Understanding access tokens, refresh tokens, and token lifecycle

## Token Types

Auth-Agent issues two types of tokens:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Access Token" icon="key">
    Short-lived JWT for API access (1 hour)
  </Card>

  <Card title="Refresh Token" icon="arrows-rotate">
    Long-lived token for refreshing access (30 days)
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Token Lifecycle

Access tokens automatically refresh before expiration with the SDK.

```typescript theme={null}
import { useAuth } from 'ai-auth';

function MyComponent() {
  const { getAccessToken } = useAuth();
  
  // Always returns valid token (auto-refreshes if needed)
  const token = getAccessToken();
}
```
