An essential element in cleaning up the mess is to educate 
everyone that periodic revalidations will occur (e.g. using tokens as
mentioned earlier) and the process; it becomes part of the mechanism
by which users retain their access to the entrusted public resources.   
Same idea as inputting a pin when I turn on my mobile phone, or dealing 
with the periodic messages I receive in a standard format from NetSol
regarding maintenance of my website

Periodic automated revalidations :)
