Log in Time Duration

[Tom Phillips]

Is there a method to control the time duration that I stay logged in? I don't find anything in my settings and the current login duration seems too short for me. The issue is when I browse other tabs while leaving MEF open in a separate tab. When I go back to the MEF tab, my login has expired.

I think the only option is the 'forever' when you check the 'remember me' box at login. That's what I always do, but you do have to remember to log off when done.
Other than this, I believe the session time is 15 minutes.

Thanks, the remember me check box is inactive on my computer due to security settings I made during initial setup. I have tried to change that since no one else has access to my computer. However, I have been unsuccessful after searching and making changes both to Win 10 and my browser.

Which browser are you using?

[Tom Phillips]

Currently using Firefox 106.0.5 (64-bit)

Is the 'remember me' box grayed out, or just not working?

[Tom Phillips]

The "Remember Me" box is not grayed out. It appears to work for MEF and other sites but it doesn't result in remembering me after I close the browser and re-open it. In addition, if I leave the browser open with MEF on one of the active tabs, I still get logged off after the 15 minutes.

That sounds like a privacy setting in firefox.
I have mine set like this.
It dumps the cache when I close the browser, but it saves everything else including cookies.
See Screenshot.

**I'm on firefox for linux, so it may look a little different.

Sounds like it is not storing the related cookie.

I'll look into that. I suspect that you are correct because I'm in the habit of keeping cookies cleared and using private browsing.
Thanks g1 and big_teee.
