The hostname is used to distinguish tokens from different hosts, and to
make it easy for the user to determine which token is which, if one
needs to be revoked from the web site. As part of this, the hostname is
used to look up the token in the local keyring. If you change the
hostname, the previous token cannot be found in the keyring, and thus
you will need to log in again.
