Visibility of Okta API Token Values After Creation
Last Updated:
Overview
When an administrator generates an Okta API token, the token value displays in the Admin Console immediately after creation. Okta hides the token value after this initial display and stores it as a hash for protection.

Are Okta API token values visible after creation?
Administrators cannot view the token value after the first time it displays immediately following creation. Okta displays a warning message directly in the Admin Console each time an administrator creates a new token.
NOTE: This token will be visible only once. After this, it will be stored as a hash for protection.
How do administrators check events related to a token integration?
Check events related to a token integration by copying the Token ID visible in the Admin Console and searching the System Log. Search the System Log for related events by entering the following query.
- transaction.detail.requestApiTokenId eq "<Token ID>"
