Let's Encrypt to Cut SSL Certificate Lifetimes to 64 Days
Original: Let's Encrypt to Cut SSL Certificate Lifetimes to 64 Days in February 2027 https:// lemmy.ml/post/53865544
Let's Encrypt, the nonprofit certificate authority that issues free SSL/TLS certificates for much of the web, will reduce its maximum certificate lifetime to 64 days starting in February 2027. The move continues the industry's shift toward shorter-lived certificates to limit the damage of key compromises and stolen credentials. Website operators, especially those running manual renewals, are discussing the automation changes it will require.
Why now: The announced deadline gives site administrators years of runway but has renewed debate about certificate renewal automation and web hosting workloads.
