* Validation is available for the following token versions: Square Access Token, Legacy Production Access Token, and Legacy Sandbox Access Token.
What are validity checks?
Validity checks indicate if the leaked credentials are active and could still be exploited. If you’ve previously enabled validity checks for a given repository, GitHub will now automatically verify validity for alerts on supported token types.
