The hostname is used to distinguish tokens from different hosts, and to make it easy for the user to determine which token is which, if one needs to be revoked from the web site. As part of this, the hostname is used to look up the token in the local keyring. If you change the hostname, the previous token cannot be found in the keyring, and thus you will need to log in again.
