Forum login cookie persistence?

[edward]

I think this is the place to post this...

This is for John, as I think he has said he manages the forum software.

Is it possible for you to increase the persistence of the login cookie? That is, it seems to have a duration of about 48 hours. I find it annoying to have to continually log in on my own machines after I haven't accessed the site with them for a short couple of days. Maybe it's more annoying to me as I use a password manager and random passwords, so every time I need to log in I have to unlock the master, get my 2FA code...

First-world-problem, I know.

Many other forums I'm registered with allow the user to select the persistence duration, some include the option for permanent logins. I'm not sure what the backend software is , but moving it out to something like a week would be great if the user-selectable option is not available.

Thanks for the consideration

With mine I notice that the cookie is persistent, but you can only be logged in on two machines at once, so if you log in on your work computer, your printers computer and your laptop like I do regularly, you're always having to log in.

Is this a recent observation? I'll note that I did just get a PM from John stating that he changed things for persistent logins, so if you observed it in the past couple of days this might be the reason why. I didn't know about the device limit, though...

Yep, changed it the other day. I think it's more convenient for most users, however, as with any web-visible computer, make sure you log out, unless you want your friends posting some hilarious stuff in the forums here as 'you', well, now that I think about it, that could be fun too?

Thanks again, John!
