# Update ID Token Lifetime

You can change the <Tooltip tip="ID Token: Credential meant for the client itself, rather than for accessing a resource." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=ID+token">ID token</Tooltip> lifetime using the <Tooltip tip="ID Token: Credential meant for the client itself, rather than for accessing a resource." cta="View Glossary" href="/docs/glossary?term=Auth0+Dashboard">Auth0 Dashboard</Tooltip>. By default, an ID token is valid for 36000 seconds (10 hours). If there are security concerns, you can shorten the time period before the token expires, keeping in mind that one of the purposes of the token is to improve user experience by caching user information.

1. Go to [Dashboard > Applications > Applications](https://manage.auth0.com/#/applications) and click the name of the application to view.
2. Scroll to **ID Token** and locate the **ID Token Expiration** field. Enter the appropriate ID token lifetime (in seconds) for the application.
3. Click **Save Changes**.
