I'm worried that Signers are not automatically expiring at some point.

This is a common practice in web2 (for API keys / tokens) and I believe Farcaster would greatly benefit form this as well (using a Farcaster epoch based timestamp).

any thoughts on this @stephancill  @samuellhuber.eth ?

a big difference vs web2 is that there is an explicit cost to creating a signer in the form of gas fees. this has way different UX implications to web2 API keys so it's not as simple as just expiring them unfortunately

i do agree that this is an important issue issue that needs to be addressed though

I don't quite get why this would be an issue (besides of the gas-cost to renew/re-create a signer). the expiration should happen by-default through the timestamp.
