wauth Library Adds Native TTL Support to Auto-Purge Expired Auth Tokens
The open-source Python library wauth has introduced built-in Time-To-Live (TTL) support for managing temporary authentication secrets. Developers can set an expiry duration in seconds via the ttl parameter in auth.set(), after which the secret is automatically purged and returns None when queried. This eliminates the need for manual cron jobs or background threads to clean up stale session records. The feature addresses security risks posed by expired credentials that remain readable in databases indefinitely. wauth is available on GitHub and can be installed via pip install wauth.
