# Refresh JWT

After your `accessToken` expires post the 1-hour mark, you won't need to go through the entire authentication process again. Instead, follow these simple steps:

1. **Use the `refreshToken`**: Present the `refreshToken` (which you received during the initial authentication) to our designated endpoint.
2. **Receive a new `accessToken`**: On successful validation of your `refreshToken`, our system will immediately provide a new `accessToken` for your continued use.
