I don’t understand why some authentication mechanisms, like Github Tokens don’t use a refresh token mechanism. So the token can be handed in once to create a refresh token, and then with that expiring access token can be requested. Now we (as users) have to bother with constantly expiring long-term tokens, not nothing in which of the hunderds of places we’ve might have put them.
