OAuth is also used when giving third-party apps access to accounts like your Twitter, Facebook, Google, or Microsoft accounts. It allows these third-party apps access to parts of your account.
Is refresh token a JWT?
The API returns a short-lived token (JWT), which expires in 15 minutes, and in HTTP cookies, the refresh token expires in 7 days. JWT is currently used for accessing secure ways on API, whereas a refresh token generates another new JWT access token when it expires or even before.
Can refresh token be stolen?
In short: it’s bad, real bad. Because the token is used to identify the client, if one is stolen or compromised, an attacker has full access to the user’s account in the same way they would if the attacker had instead compromised the user’s username and password. Refresh tokens are long-lived.
How long do Facebook tokens last?
about 60 days
When your app uses Facebook Login to authenticate someone, it receives a User access token. If your app uses one of the Facebook SDKs, this token lasts for about 60 days. However, the SDKs automatically refresh the token whenever the person uses your app, so the tokens expire 60 days after last use.
How do I set up OAuth on Facebook?
In the App Dashboard, choose your app and scroll to Add a Product Click Set Up in the Facebook Login card. Select Settings in the left side navigation panel and under Client OAuth Settings, enter your redirect URL in the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs field for successful authorization.
What if refresh token is stolen?

Is refresh token secure?
A refresh token can help you balance security with usability. Since refresh tokens are typically longer-lived, you can use them to request new access tokens after the shorter-lived access tokens expire.
Can a refresh token be reused?
If a previously used refresh token is used again with the token request, the Authorization Server automatically detects the attempted reuse of the refresh token. As a result, Okta immediately invalidates the most recently issued refresh token and all access tokens issued since the user authenticated.
