What do you call the "token" thing?

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

You know how some sites have links that run on tokens? Tokens are links that only stay alive for a certain amount of time (1 use, 1 day, 1 week, etc).

Can someone explain to me what exactly it's called? I know there are different method / systems that do it but idk which one would be best for me.

Personally I'm going for 1 use "tokens" for links. I also want to know how they're generated only by my server. I can only use PHP and don't have access to a database
