What is an access token?

Access tokens enable clients to securely call protected web APIs, and are used by web APIs to perform authentication and authorization. Per the OAuth specification, access tokens are opaque strings without a set format - some identity providers (IDPs) use GUIDs, others use encrypted blobs. The Microsoft identity platform uses a variety of access token formats depending on the configuration of the API that accepts the token. Custom APIs registered by developers on the Microsoft identity platform can choose from two different formats of JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), called "v1" and "v2", and Microsoft-developed APIs like Microsoft Graph or APIs in Azure have additional proprietary token formats. These proprietary formats might be encrypted tokens, JWTs, or special JWT-like tokens that will not validate.

Why are access tokens opaque?

Clients must treat access tokens as opaque strings because the contents of the token are intended for the resource (the API) only. For validation and debugging purposes only, developers can decode JWTs using a site like jwt.ms. Be aware, however, that the tokens you receive for a Microsoft API might not always be a JWT, and that you can't always decode them.

What does it mean to set accessTokenAcceptedVersion to 2?

This is why a resource setting accessTokenAcceptedVersion to 2 means that a client calling the v1.0 endpoint to get a token for that API will receive a v2.0 access token. Resources always own their tokens (those with their aud claim) and are the only applications that can change their token details. This is why changing the access token optional claims for your client does not change the access token received when a token is requested for user.read, which is owned by the Microsoft Graph resource.
