-> Treat your access tokens like passwords. For more information, see [Keeping your {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}s secure](#keeping-your-personal-access-tokens-secure).

-## About {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}s
-
-{% data variables.product.pat_generic_caps %}s are an alternative to using passwords for authentication to {% data variables.product.github %} when using the [{% data variables.product.github %} API](/rest/overview/authenticating-to-the-rest-api) or the [command line](#using-a-personal-access-token-on-the-command-line).
-
-{% data variables.product.pat_generic_caps %}s are intended to access {% data variables.product.company_short %} resources on behalf of yourself. To access resources on behalf of an organization, or for long-lived integrations, you should use a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/apps/creating-github-apps/setting-up-a-github-app/about-creating-github-apps).
-
-{% data reusables.user-settings.token_access_capabilities %} For example, a {% data variables.product.pat_generic %} can be configured with an `admin:org` scope, but if the owner of the token is not an organization owner, the token will not give administrative access to the organization.
-
-### Types of {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}s
-
-{% data variables.product.company_short %} currently supports two types of {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}s: {% data variables.product.pat_v2 %}s and {% data variables.product.pat_v1_plural %}. {% data variables.product.company_short %} recommends that you use {% data variables.product.pat_v2 %}s instead of {% data variables.product.pat_v1_plural %} whenever possible.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> {% data variables.product.pat_v2_caps %}s, while more secure and controllable, cannot accomplish every task that a {% data variables.product.pat_v1 %} can. See the section on [{% data variables.product.pat_v2_caps_plural %} limitations](#fine-grained-personal-access-tokens-limitations) below to learn more.

 Both {% data variables.product.pat_v2 %}s and {% data variables.product.pat_v1_plural %} are tied to the user who generated them and will become inactive if the user loses access to the resource.
