This tutorial demonstrates the steps it takes to generate a long-lived refresh token for your client ID/client secret pair using the OAuth 2.0 playground. This technique is useful for testing or for uncommon scenarios where you may need to generate a long-lived refresh token without having to include the 3-legged OAuth flow into your own applications.
