# influx v1 auth set-inactive

-   influx CLI 2.0.0+
-   InfluxDB 2.0.0+

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).

The `influx v1 auth set-inactive` command deactivates an authorization in the [InfluxDB 1.x compatibility API](/influxdb/v2/reference/api/influxdb-1x/). Inactive authorizations **do not** grant access to InfluxDB.

## Usage

```
influx v1 auth set-inactive [flags]
```

## Flags

| Flag |  | Description | Input type | Maps to ? |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| -c | --active-config | Config name to use for command | string | INFLUX_ACTIVE_CONFIG |
|  | --configs-path | Path to the influx CLI configurations (default: ~/.influxdbv2/configs) | string | INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH |
| -h | --help | Help for the set-inactive command |  |  |
|  | --hide-headers | Hide the table headers (default: false) |  | INFLUX_HIDE_HEADERS |
|  | --host | HTTP address of InfluxDB | string | INFLUX_HOST |
| -i | --id | (Required) Authorization ID | string |  |
|  | --json | Output data as JSON (default: false) |  | INFLUX_OUTPUT_JSON |

| -t | --token | API token | string | INFLUX_TOKEN |
|  | --username | Authorization username | string | INFLUX_USERNAME |

## Examples

#### Authentication credentials

The examples below assume your InfluxDB **host**, **organization**, and **token** are provided by either the [active `influx` CLI configuration](/influxdb/v2/reference/cli/influx/#provide-required-authentication-credentials) or by environment variables (`INFLUX_HOST`, `INFLUX_ORG`, and `INFLUX_TOKEN`). If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:

-   `--host`: [InfluxDB host](/influxdb/v2/reference/urls/)
-   `-o, --org` or `--org-id`: InfluxDB organization name or ID
-   `-t, --token`: InfluxDB API token

##### Deactivate a v1 authorization

```sh
influx v1 auth set-inactive --id 00xX00o0X001
```
