Here's my solution using only Graph API Explorer & Access Token Debugger:

1. Graph API Explorer:
   • Select your App from the top right dropdown menu
   • Select "Get User Access Token" from dropdown (right of access token field) and select needed permissions
   • Copy user access token
2. Access Token Debugger:
   • Paste copied token and press "Debug"
   • Press "Extend Access Token" and copy the generated long-lived user access token
3. Graph API Explorer:
   • Paste copied token into the "Access Token" field
   • Make a GET request with "PAGE_ID?fields=access_token"
   • Find the permanent page access token in the response (node "access_token")
4. (Optional) Access Token Debugger:
   • Paste the permanent token and press "Debug"
   • "Expires" should be "Never"
