Reconnecting Your Social Media Accounts

Reconnecting Social Media Accounts

Gainfully uses access tokens to connect to your social accounts. Social networks provide these tokens. When tokens expire or become invalid, you must reconnect, or re-authenticate, your social accounts. Doing this generates a new token.

Gainfully, like all external partners of social networks, is subject to these security measures. They are often more stringent for third parties than what you may experience using the social network itself. While disconnections can be frustrating, they occur to protect you.
