# RefreshTokenCredential ----
#' Refresh token credential authentication
#'
#' @description
#' Authenticates using an existing refresh token. This credential is useful when
#' you have obtained a refresh token through another authentication flow and want
#' to use it to get new access tokens without interactive authentication.
#'
#' @details
#' The refresh token credential uses the OAuth 2.0 refresh token flow to obtain
#' new access tokens. It requires a valid refresh token that was previously
#' obtained through an interactive flow (e.g., authorization code or device code).
#'
#' This is particularly useful for:
#' \itemize{
#'   \item Non-interactive sessions where you have a pre-obtained refresh token
#'   \item Long-running applications that need to refresh tokens automatically
#'   \item Scenarios where you want to avoid repeated interactive authentication
#' }
#'
#' @field .refresh_token Character string containing the refresh token.
