-Previously, when you clicked the "New Token" button on <https://crates.io/settings/tokens>
-you would only get the option to choose a name for the token, but nothing else.

-Our next two features on the to-do list were both described as "token scopes".
-One part is allowing you to restrict API tokens to certain operations, e.g.

+existing crates, while disallowing the creation of new crates. The second one
+offers an optional restriction where tokens can be limited to only work for
+specific crate names. If you want to read more about how these features
 were planned and implemented you can take a look at our corresponding

 announce that our "New API Token" page now supports endpoint scopes, crate
 scopes and expiration dates:
