What do you mean by Bearer token?

Hey Darran,

:shield: A Bearer token is a powerful tool in the world of computer security, especially in the realm of web applications and APIs. Think of it as your all-access pass to certain resources without the hassle of showing your credentials every time you make a request.

In simpler terms, a Bearer token is like a special key. Once you possess it, it vouches for your identity and grants you access to specific resources or functionalities. This eliminates the need to repeatedly provide additional credentials, making your interactions with web applications and APIs smoother and more efficient.

It’s a handy way to ensure that the right people (or systems) get the right level of access while maintaining security.

If you have more questions regarding the Bearer token, feel free to ask! :lock::computer:
