<ul><li>Access tokens and refresh tokens are crucial components in developing secure authentication systems for API-driven applications.</li><li>Access tokens function as digital keys that grant users access to restricted resources, containing user information and permission details with short expiration periods to minimize security risks.</li><li>Refresh tokens complement access tokens by enabling the application to obtain new access tokens without requiring the user to log in again, maintaining sessions and enhancing user experience.</li><li>Secure implementation practices such as token storage, transmission over HTTPS, token expiry management, role-based permissions, and token revocation are essential for effectively using access and refresh tokens in applications.</li></ul>
