# Revoke Tokens

Once issued, <Tooltip tip="Access Token: Authorization credential, in the form of an opaque string or JWT, used to access an API." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=access+tokens">access tokens</Tooltip> and <Tooltip tip="Access Token: Authorization credential, in the form of an opaque string or JWT, used to access an API." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=ID+tokens">ID tokens</Tooltip> cannot be revoked in the same way as cookies with session IDs for server-side sessions.

As a result, tokens should be issued for relatively short periods, and then [refreshed](/docs/secure/tokens/refresh-tokens) periodically if the user remains active.
