    <h2>RFC 6750: OAuth 2.0 Bearer Token Usage</h2>

    <p><a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750" class="rfc">tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6750</a></p>

    <p>Bearer Tokens are the predominant type of access token used with OAuth 2.0.</p>
    <p>A Bearer Token is an opaque string, not intended to have any meaning to clients using it. Some servers will issue tokens that are a short string of hexadecimal characters, while others may use structured tokens such as <a href="/2/jwt/">JSON Web Tokens</a>.</p>
