Hi, so this is what a common paseto token looks like: v2.local.rRfHP25HDj5Pda40FwdTsGcsEMoQAKM6ElH6OhCon6YzG1Pzmj1ZPAHORhPaxKQo0XLM5LPYgaevWGrkEy2Os3N68Xee_Me9A0LmbMlV6MNVt-UZMos7ETha

The characters used are:

Letters (upper and lower case)
Numbers
Special characters (-, _, .)

I was wondering if a token could contain a slash (/, \), maybe even other characters? Thanks

No. And the why you’ll find in the source specification.
