## How they work
Tokens are stored in a `UserToken` collection in the database. Each record has a unique `_id`, which is the token, and a `user_id` that links to the user's account from the `user` collection. The token is encoded using JWT and sent to the client when it's created. That encoded token is then given to third party services that need it and sent to our API by them when a challenge is completed. When our API gets it, it is decoded so we can identify the user submitting a challenge and save the completed challenge to their `completedChallenges`.
