Email activation expiration

[Pontius_Pilatus]

Hello. I need to add an expiration date for the activation email that comes after registration. But I did not find a config with which I could do this.
I thought this can be done using the token that is in the activation link. Unfortunately, Open edX does not use a token, but UUID4.

I will be grateful for any help.

Some links to relevant code, for anyone else taking a look:

• Activation key generation
• Key used for lookup

One thought is that you could add code to the activation flow that compares the current timestamp to the time the account was created. That would probably be a pretty clean patch.
