How Refresh Tokens Work in ASP .NET Core

Summary

This transcript explains how refresh tokens enhance application security by enabling the issuance of new, short-lived access tokens. Upon initial login, both an access token and a refresh token are generated; the access token has a limited lifespan, while the refresh token, stored securely, can be used to obtain a new access token without requiring full re-authentication. The practical takeaway is that using refresh tokens offers a more secure and continuous user experience by balancing security with convenience.
