    Hi @moustafa

    It is hard for us to explain all these common terms. Refresh token is used for security purposes. If someone gets the token of a user, actaul user can get a new token using refresh token and invalidate the old token. So, in that way, hacker can't use the token anymore.

    Hi my friend @ismcagdas

    Thank you for your reply

    I know that it's hard to explain all these common terms nad i know that the Refresh token is used for security purposes

    but i hope you can schedule you time or figure something to explain these terms in a short period simultaneously in different sessions because this topic is very very important and confused for a lot of developers

    thank you

    Hi @moustafa

    Unfortunately, we can't help you about these common sofware topics. You can find very good documents on the web about those topics. If you have AspNet Zero specific questions, we can try to help you.

    Thanks,
