Epic Games Login In A Nutshell

The eternal struggle of gaming platform authentication! Steam's session tokens are like diamonds - they last forever. You can abandon your PC for months, come back, and Steam's like "welcome back old friend!"

Their token expiration must be set to approximately 37 minutes. It's the digital equivalent of your grandmother forgetting who you are despite seeing you last weekend.
