Outdated
| Clerk implements a hybrid authentication model that combines the benefits of both stateful and stateless approaches while mitigating their respective drawbacks, at the cost of adding a substantial amount of complexity to the implementation on Clerk's side. For a developer implementing Clerk, like you, this is all upside since the complexity is handled internally by Clerk. The hybrid model incorporates the same flow when signing in as the stateless flow, but with a few key innovations: | ||
|
|
||
| - A short-lived **session token** (60 seconds) combined with a background token refresh mechanism. | ||
| - A **client token** to verify the user's authentication state, in conjunction with the session token. |
