Is there a setting page on the lemmy instance where I can download all my data?

One thing to be aware of is that there is ~~currently, AFAIK, no~~ now (since 0.19.3) a way to "disable" a JWT.

Before that, once you had created it, if you leaked it, your account was, as far as I can tell, definitely compromised.

Now, it is possible to logout, to mark the JWT as "invalid".

I will add, ~~as a disclaimer, that I have not checked if~~ that as Nutomic highlighted below, there are conditions (password change, etc) under which ~~any or~~ all JWT (user, ~~instance, etc~~) become invalid. ~~So do audit the code if this is something that concerns you. As far as I am concerned, I treat the JWTs as extra-sensitive information, and store them only on machines I own~~.

Edit: correct information in the light of Nutomic's comments.

The jwt is invalidated once you logout. You can also change/reset your password to invalidate all login tokens for your account.

Invalidated how?

OK. I was afraid this would not be the case. Thanks for confirming.

Well it's deleted from the database so you can't authenticate with it anymore.

OK there now is a LoginToken class. This was not the case last time I checked. Good. Thanks for your answers.
