You're probably right, I was speaking about authentication on the whole from an industry perspective. I'm allowed to be annoyed with something that disrupts me from Innovating™ so I used my post as an outlet to do just that. P.S. no the email that came is was related to a personal access token for my own special projects account. Maybe they defaulted to some expiration period, don't care enough to go out of my way to find out right now.
