    Extend login expiration for frontend member

    I have figured out I can change these settings:

    umbracoTimeOutInMinutes in web.config

    keepUserLoggedInin umbracoSettings.config

    It works fine affecting the Backend Users to stay logged in longer. But I want to do the same thing for Frontend Members. How can that be done? I got the impression that the first setting would affect the frontend members as well but it does not. It seems to stay at the default 20 min.

    Hi Jakob

    If you are using forms authentication then it's set using a timeout in the forms section of Web.config. I think the default is 20 minutes. To increase follow below.

    <authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="yourAuthCookie" loginUrl="login" protection="All" path="/" timeout="20" />
</authentication>

    Thanks,

    Alex
