Default Authentication Scheme and Token Authentication

Hi friends.

I have some doubts about of these two types of Authentication.

If I use Default Authentication Scheme (http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#setting-the-authentication-scheme) can use Token Authentication (http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication/#tokenauthentication)?

If use Token Authentication I don't need use Default? Currently I have using the Default Scheme username and password to my APIs

I would like meet a few more about it. Best Regards
