Keeping your access tokens secure can be extremely important to help protect your sensitive data. Below are some handy tips to help keep your access tokens secure.
Ensure that your credentials are only ever shared in a secure manner and only with authorized individuals.
Store your credentials securely in a location that is inaccessible to unauthorized users or applications.
Encrypt your credentials both at rest
and in transit to add an additional layer of security.
As a best practice, you should rotate your credentials on a recurring basis. This can be done by resetting the access token and updating your integrations to use the new credentials.
If you suspect a token is compromised, then reset the access token. This will immediately remove any access that unauthorized actors might have had to your data. Next, update all of your integrations to use the new credentials.
