Refresh Token

Use this grant type in conjunction with the access token to extend the frequency required for authentication requests.

This grant type is also known as "Offline Access".

All the grant types can be configured to use the Refresh Token, but the OAuth v2 Microsoft endpoints are required to define a scope parameter on initial authentication.

As the Bearer Token is generated with refresh_token parameter, the grant type can be utilized for subsequent authentication requests without additional verification steps. For example: generate an authentication code, completing a device code approval, or sending username or password in the API request.
