    Your refresh token possesses a higher level of security compared to your access token.

    The reason for this is that the access token, as it stands, is derived from the encryption of various secret data elements.

    Alongside the refresh token, other sensitive data are also encrypted to generate the access token.

    It's important to note that a hacker cannot easily obtain your refresh token.
