Docker Hub Access Tokens API

The Personal Access Token endpoints lets you manage personal access tokens. For more information, see [Access Tokens](https://docs.docker.com/security/access-tokens/). You can use a personal access token instead of a password in the [Docker CLI](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/cli/) or in the [Create an authentication token](#operation/PostUsersLogin) route to obtain a bearer token. ### Scopes For each scope grouping (in this case "repo"), you only need to define 1 scope as any lower scopes are assumed. For example: If you define `repo:write`, the API assumes the scope of both `repo:read` *and* `repo:public_read` as well. If you were to define both `repo:write` *and* `repo:read`, then `repo:read` is assumed by `repo:write` and ignored. ***Treat your personal access token like your password and keep it secret. You cannot retrieve your token after it is generated.***
