`Mytoken` is a web service to obtain OpenID Connect Access Tokens in an easy but secure way for extended periods of time
16+
and across multiple devices. In particular, `mytoken` was developed to provide OIDC Access Tokens to long-running
17+
compute jobs.

A user can create a special string called `mytoken`. This mytoken then can be used to obtain OpenID Connect access
18-
tokens from any device. The power of a mytoken can be restricted by the user, so they can create exactly the token they
19-
need for a certain use case.

Access Tokens can be obtained via so-called **`mytokens`**: A new token type that can be easily used as a Bearer token
20+
from any device. These `mytokens` can be restricted according to the particular use case to only allow the needed
21+
privileges..
