It is still used for (I think):

  • Short-term login tokens. These are used as part of the single-sign-on (OIDC or SAML2) flow.
  • Access tokens for guest users (read-only accounts).
  • Email unsubscribe links. These use special access tokens that only let you unsubscribe from email notifications.
