we can increase token expire time of access token using tokensExpireIn() in laravel 6, laravel 7, laravel 8, laravel 9, laravel 10 and laravel 11 app. we can increase refresh token expire time of access token using refreshTokensExpireIn(). we can increase personal access token expire time of access token using personalAccessTokensExpireIn().

Let's see bellow example to set longer time of expire access token in laravel 5 application.

        $this->registerPolicies();
   
        Passport::routes();
        Passport::tokensExpireIn(now()->addDays(30));
        Passport::refreshTokensExpireIn(now()->addDays(30));
