Personal API Access Tokens are permanent tokens that can be used instead of passwords to authenticate against the API. This allows SSO and 2FA users to easily access the API without the additional workaround. Furthermore, these tokens can be used directly against API endpoints without having to authenticate and obtain a session token.
