As title, I don't when will the authentication file expire.
If I create a new authentication json file, it will be ok to run at fist several times. But it will fail to authenticate if I sign out this account at another browser. Or some unknown reasons which will cause this verified authentication json file expired.

I assume it lasts as long as your browser session. So if you sign off or switch accounts it would expire. Otherwise, it should last several months at least, judging from Cookie expiry times in my browser.

However, we need further testing to determine the max lifetime.
