Summary

Rollbar is enhancing its security measures by introducing major improvements to account and project access tokens, which will now be stored in an encrypted format, making them inaccessible via the UI or API after creation. Users are advised to securely copy and store these tokens upon generation, as they will only be visible once. The update includes flexible security options, allowing users to choose between 512-bit and 128-bit tokens, and introduces stricter scope rules for newly created tokens. Existing tokens can be encrypted without code changes, ensuring they remain functional while benefiting from enhanced security. No immediate action is required for current tokens, but new tokens will adhere to the upgraded security standards. Users with multiple projects can contact Rollbar's support team for assistance with the bulk encryption process, as the company continues to prioritize security and reliability in its services.
