When the Facebook Token expired?

I know facebook token right now will be expire because if offline_access have been removed. But how long this token will be expire? 60 days?

How long for "normal" token will be expire? And I see in the token return , the expire is number "5143" ... This is second ? or minutes?

Yes, the access token will expire in 60 days but you will still always need to handle two other cases (even with offline_access).

If the user either:

  • Deauthorizes the application
  • Changes their password

... then you will need to direct them to retrieve another client-side access token that you can exchange for your long-lived access token.

Do note however that even if a user logs out of your application, if you have asked for offline_access, your access_token will still be valid (assuming none of the other situations have also occurred).

There is a new option in App Advanced Settings: deprecate offline_access

If enabled the app will be issued long lived access token but you can't ask for offline_access. I believe after deprecation process is completed the expiry time will return to normals or they might leave it to 60 days.
