title: Generating and Using Tokens
url: /user-guide/user-token/
---
Each user can generate tokens that can be used to run analyses or invoke web services without access to the user's actual credentials.
## How to Generate a Token
To generate a token, to go **User > My Account > Security**. Your existing tokens are listed here, each with a Revoke button.
The form at the bottom of the page allows you to generate new tokens. Once you click the **Generate** button, you will see the token value. Copy it immediately; once you dismiss the notification you will not be able to retrieve it.
## How to Use a Token
User tokens must replace your normal login process in the following scenarios:
* when running analyses on your code: replace your login by the token in the `sonar.login` property.
* when invoking web services: just pass the token instead of your login while doing the basic authentication.
In both cases, you don't need to provide a password (so when running analyses on your code, the property `sonar.password` is optional).
