Thanks for your reply Josh! We're putting in an internal security policy in place, and are deciding what all should be reset every month (think of it as enforcing a periodic password change policy).
There is also the client secret that can be reset in Google API console. Should we reset that instead? Could you also confirm if resetting the client secret would have any impact on existing OAuth2 grants? Out of curiosity, why does the API team recommends not resetting the developer token? Cheers, and have a good week everyone! MG On Monday, September 29, 2014 7:31:09 PM UTC+5:30, Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team) wrote: > > Hi MG, > > No, the OAuth2 grants will not be lost.
