What is the difference between the access token generated in Facebook Events Manager and the "extend Access Token" in Graph API Tool?

Question

I attempted to create an access token for setting up the conversion API in Events Manager. However, the agency's two-factor authentication generator wasn't functioning, preventing me from obtaining the access token.

As a workaround, I used the Access Token Tool in the Graph API and clicked on "extend Access Token" to generate a new access token. Fortunately, the conversion API started working, but I'm curious about the difference between these two methods.

Answer 1

I found the difference between the two methods. The "extend Access Token" option in the Graph API tool has an expiration, while the other one has no expiration.
