Step 2: Input token name. This helps manage multiple tokens.<br>

Step 3: **Revoking a Token**

* Tokens on this platform do not expire, giving them an indefinite lifespan until they are manually revoked.
* To revoke an access token, users need to navigate back to the API tokens section, locate the specific token item, and click the "Revoke" button associated with it.
* Revoking the token immediately deactivates it, preventing any further API access using that token.
