# Get session tokens

From v11, the Android SDK stores the Auth session as tokens on the device. Use `getAccessToken()` and `getIdentityToken()` to read these tokens for the signed-in user, for example to authenticate the user with your backend.

note

These methods are available for users who signed in through the browser flow (`connectTo` without `idToken`). They aren't available for SFA sessions (`connectTo` with `idToken`), and complete exceptionally with `No user found, please login again!`.

## `getAccessToken()`

Returns the Auth access token for the current session as a `CompletableFuture<String>`.

```kotlin
web3Auth.getAccessToken().whenComplete { accessToken, error ->
    if (error == null) {
        // Use the access token
    } else {
        Log.d("MainActivity_Web3Auth", error.message ?: "Unable to get access token")
    }
}

```

## `getIdentityToken()`

Returns the identity token (JWT) for the current session as a `CompletableFuture<String>`. You can verify this token on your backend to confirm the user's identity. See [identity token verification](/embedded-wallets/authentication/id-token/) for more information.

```kotlin
web3Auth.getIdentityToken().whenComplete { idToken, error ->
    if (error == null) {
        // Send the identity token to your backend
    } else {
        Log.d("MainActivity_Web3Auth", error.message ?: "Unable to get identity token")
    }
}

```

Both methods complete exceptionally with `No user found, please login again!` when no token is stored.
