Is authentication token regeneration possible?

Post by Merssedes »

I've quastion: is it currently possible to regenerate (generate new) authentication token?
There is some services that provide hosting for Factorio servers, but they ask for account's authentication token. As long as I type in my token there, it becomes kind-of-public. Token can be used to login under my account in game, which is exactly what i'd like to be protected from.

Seems we need a read-only token.
I guess if you change your password, you get a new token.

I'd say "for server only" token :)

UPDATE:
Changing password does not change authentication token, so quastion is currently still open.

There's now a link you can use in your profile to reset the token.

I just asked HanziQ and he did the work.
