  Creates a
  [`CustomerAccessToken`](/docs/api/storefront/2026-01/objects/CustomerAccessToken)
  using a [multipass token](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/multipass) instead of
  email and password. This enables single sign-on for customers who authenticate
  through an external system.


  If the customer doesn't exist in Shopify, then a new customer record is
  created automatically. If the customer exists but the record is disabled, then
  the customer record is re-enabled.

  > Multipass tokens are only valid for 15 minutes and can only be used once.
  Generate tokens on-the-fly when needed rather than in advance.
