# Launch tokens
> Understand the authenticated game launch flow.
# Launch tokens
```text theme={null}
Player selects Play
↓
Launcher requests a token
↓
Launcher starts the game
↓
Game validates the token
```
Initial validated data:
* User ID.
* Email.
* Valid authentication status.
```json theme={null}
{
"id": "player-id",
"email": "player@example.com",
"valid": true
}
```
Treat launch tokens as temporary credentials. Never expose them in player-facing errors or production logs.
