And I logged in almost daily to XI for years, only out of game a max of maybe 10 or 12 months (part of that from the earhquake downtime), AND I used it in the 1.0 beta and have been using it since the 2.0 beta4 as well.
Tokens are a major PITA, especially when web forums like SE's log you out when you leave them and so have to log in again and use the damned token. Logging into one's account and the game is fine, but I'm not going to piss about with the damned thing just to log into their forums, life's too short for that.
