Switching to refresh tokens without user input

Hello,

I'm migrating our software from long-lived access tokens to short-lived ones with refresh tokens.

My main question is is it possible to do the transition for a user who already has a no expiration token to refresh tokens without asking him to authenticate again.

As a secondary question - I asume expires_in is second, but can you please confirm this since I cannot seem to find the unit in the documentation.

Thank you in advance,

Nikola Simeonov

No, it's not possible to switch a user to short-lived access tokens/refresh tokens from long-lived access tokens without user interaction. We don't currently have a plan to disable existing long-lived access tokens though. (If that changes, we will of course announce that ahead of time.) That being the case, your users can continue using their existing long-lived access token(s).

And yes, that's correct, 'expires_in' is the number of seconds. I'll ask the team to clarify that in the documentation. Thanks!
