>If you chose to use a token for client's authentication and generate the token by `/util/mkpasswd.go` then you must use the generated bcrypt hash as the token in server config, as written above, and the generated pass as the token in client configurations.

```
$ go run util/mkpasswd.go
pass: D#6)e0ht^@61kU5!^!owrX // NATS client token
bcrypt hash: $2a$11$bXz1Mi5xM.rRUnYRT0Vb2el6sSzVrqA0DJKdt.5Itj1C1K4HT9FDG // server authorization token
```

**Multi-user authentication**

You can enable multi-user authentication using a NATS server configuration file that defines user credentials (`user` and `password`), and optionally `permissions`, for two or more users. Multi-user authentication leverages [variables](#variables).
