This question is related to this question already asked.

Does this Facebook change mean that we have to store the user token returned the first time and reuse that for all subsequent Facebook requests? What happens if we do not store this user token – can we request it again? If yes, how do we do that?

Also, when does the user token expire, if it ever expires?

    This documentation shows how to get data about an access_token. You make a call to:

    https://graph.facebook.com/debug_token?input_token=INPUT_TOKEN&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN

    Best practice is to store an access token and its expiration. This documentation shows how to extend a session.

    Note this quote found in the 2nd link:

    When a user completes a client-side auth flow and you retrieve their
    User Access Token, by default you’ll receive a short-lived token that
    is only valid for 1-2 hours. There is no Javascript SDK function to help extend this, however, you can exchange this token for a longer lived one (valid to 60 days)
