# Rotate Pairing Token

JFrog Connect uses tokens and enables token rotation according to the [JWT](https://jwt.io/introduction) standard. Token rotation is a security mechanism designed to minimize the risks associated with token theft and unauthorized use. When you rotate the pairing token in Connect, you replace the token with a new one. 

If you suspect that a token has been compromised, or if you just want to keep your security risk low, you can rotate or revoke the pairing token at any time.

To rotate the pairing token, do the following:

1. In Fleet Settings, go to the **Pairing Token** tab and locate the relevant Token ID. If you don’t see the token in the table, you can use the filter on the right to find it.
2. In the row of the relevant Token ID, click the **More** icon (three dots) on the far right and choose **Rotate**.

You can follow the status of the token by hovering over the Rotation Status column in the table. The popup will show you the number of devices in each state:

* Pending
* In Progress
* Failed
