| Oct 8, 2013 at 14:19 | comment | added | Stu Pegg | My concern was that you'd keeping getting the same one with each new login until it expired (as that's what seemed to be happening to me). I'm guessing they generate a new token when the access token is regenerated, once every 12 hours. | |
| Oct 8, 2013 at 14:16 | comment | added | John Chapman | Yes, you can get a refresh token as often as you want. I just do it every 5 months or so. | |

| Oct 8, 2013 at 14:15 | comment | added | Stu Pegg | Ah! so you do get a new refresh token before the old one expires. That's good news, thanks. | |
| Oct 8, 2013 at 13:36 | comment | added | John Chapman | Yes, we "hope" the user sees the message prior to the expiration so they can get a new one before it does. They don't always and in that case, they just wont have the functionality of the Office 365 connection until they do get a new token. | |
| Oct 8, 2013 at 7:26 | comment | added | Stu Pegg | Ok, thanks. You said "hopefully" get a new token. Does that mean you're not sure if they log in they'll get a newer one before the old one expires? And yes, your token/token comment made sense to me. :) | |
| Oct 8, 2013 at 3:02 | comment | added | John Chapman | BTW, when you get a new access token using your refresh token (to make your connection), it does not provide a new refresh token. It will simply return the same one if you try to get the refresh token from your newly created access token. (I hope that made sense, LOL). | |
