Let's Encrypt, the nonprofit certificate authority that issues free TLS certificates for much of the web, plans to cut SSL certificate lifetimes to 64 days starting in February 2027. The move follows broader industry efforts to shorten certificate validity, and web administrators are discussing the operational impact, since automated renewal will become even more essential for keeping sites secure.
Why now: Shorter certificate lifetimes mean website operators must rely heavily on automated renewal, prompting debate among admins and developers.
