Slack is encouraging developers to build secure Slack apps, and to move away from using the legacy API tokens. As community admins, we have concerns with these requests:
"(user) is requesting a legacy API test token which provides access to your team’s data and their private data. A developer on your team might want this type of token for testing an app or integration, but you should be cautious about who you grant these to. Instead of using legacy tokens, we encourage creating internal integrations which have more controlled access to data.
