Need this functionality
We need this. I need the session duration to be infinite or as long as possible. The reason is we have 2 users: parents and students, the parents are the ones that create the account and pay, the students are the ones that use our website. Whenever the session expires it creates a bad experience for the students who don't know the username/password. We essentially need the Netflix experience of never logging out.
Upvote - My client is requesting a much longer session duration or a "remember me" functionality on the login screen to have the option for a longer session.
I'm happy to report this feature is officially in development! Please keep a watch for more updates soon.
