If your access token is compromised, you would normally need your refresh token to get a new access token? So it would increase security, but if you lose your refresh token, you def have the same problem.
Or am I missing some context?

Access token renewal is allowed for browsers for as long as we detect a valid session. And that session cannot be extended. Every 8 hours it's back to the authentication page with your YubiKey.
