+### How to avoid having to re-authorize the bridge after a new openHAB installation
+
+OAuth is storing data in two files: your access tokens in the file `userdata/jsondb/StorageHandler.For.OAuthClientService.json` and the encryption/decryption key in the file `userdata/config/SymmetricKeyCipher.config`.
+Consider backing up and restoring these two files when installing a new openHAB server from scratch.
+Otherwise, all you need to do is re-authorize your bridge.
