--- name: azion-manage-personal-tokens description: >- Create and delete personal tokens from Azion Console or the Azion CLI, and store the token value when you create it. --- # Manage personal tokens You can create and delete a [personal token](/en/documentation/fundamentals/personal-tokens/) from Azion Console or with the [Azion CLI](/en/documentation/devtools/cli/). A personal token authenticates your requests to the [Azion API](/en/documentation/devtools/api/) and the commands you run in the CLI. To revoke a token, delete it. --- Select the interface you use. The prerequisites and each procedure on this page follow that choice. ## Prerequisites - An Azion account. To create one, refer to [Create an account](/en/documentation/fundamentals/creating-account/). **Console** - Access to Azion Console. To sign in, refer to [How to access Azion Console](/en/documentation/guides/platform/account-and-billing/how-to-access-azion-console/). **CLI** - The Azion CLI installed and logged in to your account. To set it up, refer to [Azion CLI quickstart](/en/documentation/devtools/cli/quickstart/). --- ## Create a personal token Each personal token has a name, an optional description, and an expiration. Azion shows the token value only when the token is created, so store it before you continue. **Console** To create a personal token in Azion Console: 1. **Open the Personal Tokens page** Access [Azion Console](https://console.azion.com/) > **Account** > **Personal Token**. **Account** is the avatar menu. 2. **Select + Personal Token** 3. **Name the token** In the **General** section, enter a **Name** that identifies the token. 4. **(Optional) Describe the token** In **Description**, enter what the token is for. 5. **Set the expiration** In the **Token** section, select a value in **Expires within**. The default is *1 day*. The other values are: - *7 days*, *15 days*, *30 days*, or *90 days* - *1 year* - *Custom Date*, which opens a calendar to select the date 6. **Select Save** 7. **Copy the token** In the **Personal Token has been created** dialog, select **Copy**. The **Personal Token** field masks the value until you show it. 8. **Select Confirm** The token appears on the **Personal Tokens** page with its **Expiration Date**. After the dialog closes, the value cannot be retrieved, and a lost token must be replaced with a new one. **CLI** To create a personal token with the Azion CLI, pass a name, an expiration, and an optional description. This command creates a token named `my-token` that expires the next day: ```bash azion create personal-token --name my-token --expiration 1d --description 'Token for local CLI tests' ``` The command prints the token value: ```text Created Personal Token: [TOKEN VALUE] ``` The `--expiration` flag takes a number followed by `d` for days or `m` for months, such as `1d` or `9m`. No other `personal-token` command prints the value. To create the token from a JSON file with the `name`, `expires_at`, and `description` keys, refer to [Azion CLI personal-token](/en/documentation/devtools/cli/resources/personal-token/). --- ## Delete a personal token Deleting a personal token revokes it, and the deletion cannot be undone. Azion Console asks you to confirm the deletion with the token name, and the Azion CLI takes the token UUID. **Console** To delete a personal token in Azion Console: 1. **Open the Personal Tokens page** Access [Azion Console](https://console.azion.com/) > **Account** > **Personal Token**. **Account** is the avatar menu. 2. **Select Delete on the token** In the row of the token, select **Delete**. The **Delete personal token** dialog opens. 3. **Enter the token name** In the box of the dialog, enter the name of the token, as the confirmation label quotes it. 4. **Select Delete** The message **Personal token successfully deleted** appears, and the token no longer shows on the **Personal Tokens** page. **CLI** The Azion CLI deletes a personal token by its UUID. To find the UUID, list your personal tokens: ```bash azion list personal-token ``` The command prints the UUID, the name, and the expiration of each token, never its value: ```text ID NAME EXPIRES AT 11111111-2222-4333-8444-555555555555 my-token 2027-01-15 23:59:59 +0000 UTC 22222222-3333-4444-8555-666666666666 ci-deploy 2026-12-20 23:59:59 +0000 UTC 33333333-4444-4555-8666-777777777777 cli-local 2027-09-17 23:59:59 +0000 UTC 44444444-5555-4666-8777-888888888888 old-token 2026-09-11 23:59:59 +0000 UTC ``` A token past its expiration, such as `old-token`, stays in the list until you delete it. To delete the token, pass its UUID in `--id`. This command deletes the token named `my-token`: ```bash azion delete personal-token --id 11111111-2222-4333-8444-555555555555 ``` The command deletes the token without asking for confirmation, and prints: ```text Personal token 11111111-2222-4333-8444-555555555555 was successfully deleted ``` --- ## Next steps - [Azion CLI quickstart](/en/documentation/devtools/cli/quickstart.md): Save your personal token in the CLI and deploy your first project. - [Azion API quickstart](/en/documentation/devtools/api/quickstart.md): Send your first requests to the Azion API with your personal token. - [Azion CLI personal-token](/en/documentation/devtools/cli/resources/personal-token.md): Every flag of the commands that create, list, describe, and delete personal tokens. - [Azion API](/en/documentation/devtools/api.md): The base URL, the authentication header, and the rate limits of the API.
