summary: Authenticate requests using Opaque access tokens
---

The API guard uses an **opaque access token** to authenticate the user requests. You may want to use the api guard when **creating an API that should be accessed by third-party client**, or for **any other system that does not support cookies**.

:::note

It is the responsibility of the client to keep the tokens secure.

The API guard uses the database backed **opaque access token** to authenticate the user requests. You may want to use the api guard when creating an API that should be accessed by a third-party client, or for any other system that does not support cookies.

## Tokens storage
The API tokens guard allows you store tokens either in a SQL database or store them inside Redis. Both the storage options have their own use cases.
