Summary
DigitalOcean has partnered with GitHub to improve security and automation in API access token management. The new tokens have distinct prefixes for easier identification and automation. Additionally, users can now find the last used date of a token, set an expiration date when generating personal access tokens, and benefit from secret scanning by GitHub. These improvements aim to enhance security and help users make better-informed decisions about their API tokens.
