hey everyone! A quick question. We have a development discourse set up, and I’m testing a call to request a (terminal given) token. So my question - what is a nonce? It looks like a unique id of some kind, but I’m wondering how / when / where it’s generated (so I can do it on behalf of my user, etc.) Thanks!
