# View buckets

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade**.

For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

## View buckets in the InfluxDB UI

1. In the navigation menu on the left, select **Data (Load Data)** > **Buckets**.
    
    Load Data
    
    A list of buckets with their retention policies and IDs appears.
    
2. Click a bucket to open it in the **Data Explorer**.
    
3. Click the **bucket ID** to copy it to the clipboard.
    

## View buckets using the influx CLI

Use the [`influx bucket list` command](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/bucket/list) to view a buckets in an organization.

```sh
influx bucket list
```

Other filtering options such as filtering by organization, name, or ID are available. See the [`influx bucket list` documentation](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/bucket/list) for information about other available flags.
