# Create an account token

Creates a single-use token that wraps a user’s legal entity information. Use this when creating or updating a Connect account. Learn more about [account tokens](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/account-tokens.md).

In live mode, you can only create account tokens with your application’s publishable key. In test mode, you can only create account tokens with your secret key or publishable key.
