 ## Overview
 
-Publishers who generate UID2 tokens by providing DII sometimes receive tokens that appear valid but are unusable in the UID2 ecosystem. This happens when the normalization or hashing steps are not performed correctly. Because UID2 uses the normalized and hashed form of DII to derive the token, an error in either step produces a <Link href="../ref-info/glossary-uid#gl-raw-uid2">raw UID2</Link> that is unique to that publisher. This mismatched raw UID2 will not correspond to the one used by other participants for the same DII, meaning the publisher's tokens will not match up with those from other publishers, data providers, or advertisers' CRM uploads.
+When publishers generate UID2 tokens by providing DII, in some cases the resulting UID2 token appears valid but is not. This is because the normalization or hashing steps are not performed correctly.

+
 1. Under **Input Mode**, select **Single Validation**.
 2. In the **Identifier** field, enter the DII you used to generate the token. This can be:
    - A raw email address
    - A raw phone number
-   - A Base64-encoded email hash
-   - A Base64-encoded phone hash

 3. Select the identifier type that matches your input.
 4. In the **Token** field, paste the UID2 token you want to validate.
 5. Click **Validate Tokens**.

+
+April 24, 2026
+
+We've added a new reference page for the [UID2 Token Validator](ref-token-validator.md), a web-based tool that validates UID2 tokens against their source DII so you can confirm that your token generation process is correct.
