From a UX point of view I don’t know why tools don’t have these two features:
1. “Warning, a critical method for verifying authenticity is set to expire in X days. Please visit <Y> to update now.”
2. “A critical verification certificate has expired; while you should immediately go to <Z> to obtain an update, you may defer authentication for up to 5 more days.”
...or in other words, why can’t tools cut us some slack on either side of a deadline? Security for most things is not going to fall apart just by giving people a little room to deal with issues on their own schedule.
