 Before creating these resources, you will need:
 * An [Estuary account](https://dashboard.estuary.dev/register)
 * `flowctl` [installed](../get-started-with-flowctl.md) on your machine
-* An Estuary [access token](../how_to_generate_refresh_token.md)
+* An Estuary [refresh token](../how_to_generate_refresh_token.md)
 
 You can authenticate your `flowctl` session in one of two ways:
 
-* Set the `FLOW_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable to your Estuary access token. This is the recommended way to handle a CI or automation setup.
+* Set the `FLOW_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable to your Estuary refresh token. This is the recommended way to handle a CI or automation setup.
 
 * Or run the `flowctl auth login` command and paste in your token. This is handy for local development.
