Access - Access service token secrets use a scannable format

UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026

Cloudflare Access service token Client Secrets created on or after August 26, 2026, use the format cfast_[40 alphanumeric characters][8-character checksum] . The prefix and checksum make these credentials easier for secret scanning tools to identify with fewer false positives. Existing service token secrets continue to work and do not require rotation.
