 * Hello,
    I was wondering if there is a way to refresh your access token using 
   the free version of miniorange’s API Authentication plugin.

 * Hi [@marioskyr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marioskyr/),
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * As I understand, you are looking to refresh the JWT token or regenerate the existing
   JWT token using the endpoint of our plugin’s JWT Authentication method.
 * So, We would like to inform you that the token refresh can only be done using
   the standard **OAuth 2.0 refresh token grant** and that feature is available 
   only in our premium plan along with more features and extra security benefits.
 * The JWT token which is already generated can’t be used again for regenerating
   the new token as if this is allowed then anyone can use the expired token to 
   regenerate and access the resources. So, that is why using the OAuth 2.0 token
   endpoint request, you receive both the JWT token (access_token) as well refresh_token
   and that refresh token is not publicly used for accessing resources and it is
   used only for generating a new JWT token(access_token).
 * Also, it will be great if you can tell us more about your use case and the reason
   for the token refresh so we can guide you better.
 * Thanks,
    Team miniOrange

   2.0 one is it possible to also get the user information?

 * Hi [@marioskyr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marioskyr/),
 * Yes, using the OAuth 2.0 authentication’s access token, you will get the user
   information as well.
 * Let us know if you have any other questions or want more information about the**
   OAuth 2.0 authentication** for WP REST API access.
 * Thanks,
    Team miniOrange
