I see that the access token is only for the API, but I wonder if at some point it would be possible to use the access token to access the mobile app? and thus avoid using the password (or in my case keycloak credentials) on the smartphone.

Thanks

Great question, b\_cc! While I believe access tokens are currently limited to API use, I would recommend creating a suggestion for this over on our [UserVoice platform](https://mattermost.uservoice.com/forums/306457-general) so that the product team can prioritize.

That would be really useful! Using the access token in the mobile app to skip entering credentials sounds like a smart idea. Hopefully they add support for that in the future.
