**What is pre-authentication?**
31+
32+
SharePoint includes self-issued tokens in URLs called pre-authentication URLs (also known as tempauth URLs) to provide temporary access to a SharePoint resource, which helps support more rich user experiences. For example, a common scenario is downloading a file using a URL that includes a token in the `tempauth` query parameter like the following:
33+
34+
`https://<tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/samplesite/_layouts/15/download.aspx?UniqueId=<id>&tempauth=v1.ey...`
35+
36+
But this feature is currently being deprecated. You can use the related [Set-SPOTenantPreAuthSettings](Set-SPOTenantPreAuthSettings.md) to control the use of pre-authentication in various use cases.
