 As a developer, I want the option to set an "expiration" date on
 Application Passwords so that they aren't able to be used beyond the
 period of time that I know they'll be used.

 === Use case

 I've been working with Application Passwords as a replacement for session
 cookies in an isomorphic decoupled website. I am generating them
 programmatically and treating them almost identically to sessions. Because
 they behave like sessions, I want them to expire. I'm working around this
 presently by including an expiration timestamp in the Application Password
 name.

 While this feature request would solve that specific use case, I believe
 this would be a worthwhile addition to Application Passwords to add an
 option to make them more secure.
