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

> [!Important]
> #### 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).
