There are multiple reports on the Forum of issues with the Request Token System. I'm having the same problems and believe that this is a serious defect in the new 2.10.0 that probably would keep it being used on live client sites. Here's what I'm seeing:

If I install a 2.9.5 site and then do a manual upgrade to 2.10.0, the site seems to work, and I can access the back end. If I backup the database using PHP MyAdmin (the current backup extension in Contao does not generate a valid backup SQL file) and backup the site, and the reinstall in a new directory (clone it basically), the site is functional, I can get to the login for Contao screen, but the request token error appears and I can't proceed from there.

I'm trying to setup a new demo site on a new server, and so far the token request system is barely functional IMHO.

I'm told that it possible to disable the request token system, but so far the guidance in the Wiki doesn't seem to disable the Request Token System.
