How to extend the life of a token?

Question

JSON Web Token

Hello, I am creating a token on new user registration with an expiration of 10 minutes. When a new user logs in, I need to request this token. And with further requests for any route, I need to extend the life of a particular token. I am using jwt. How to change the expiration of an already created token?

Answer 1

No way. The user is issued two tokens - an access token with a short lifetime and a renewal token with a long one. When the client detects that the access token has expired, it sends a renewal token to the server. If the renewal token is valid, the server returns two new tokens.
