Let's Encrypt moves toward 45-day TLS certificates

Original: Discover the impact of the Let's Encrypt certificate lifespan reduction. Learn how the shift to 45-day TLS certificates

Let's Encrypt is reducing the lifespan of its TLS certificates to 45 days, part of a broader industry shift toward shorter certificate validity periods. The change means website operators must rely on robust automated renewal, typically via the ACME protocol, to avoid outages from expired certificates. Security commentators note it raises the baseline for automation across web infrastructure.

Why now: The shorter certificate lifespan forces site administrators to implement or improve automated renewal, prompting widespread discussion among developers and security professionals.
