tokens yes, password rotation, no.

In 2017:

> NIST changed the guidance with SP 800-63B, published June 2017. It explicitly said:

"Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically)."

Instead, passwords should be changed when there is evidence they have been compromised, not every 30/60/90 days.
