At the moment, the answer is that unfortunately you can't (until further notice from Facebook).

Currently Facebook has been locking down this ability due to the security issues they are having. Until yesterday afternoon you could even cheat and create a "never expire" access token using a loophole. But as of today they have locked that down as well.

The 1 hour expiry is because it is a short lived token. You want to then request again with your secret so that you can get a long lived token that expires in 60 days. Explanation from FB devs is here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/access-tokens
