There's no setting in the UI nor in config.php but it can be changed via a call inside extend.php.

Here's an example:

<?php
// File <flarum>/extend.php

use Flarum\Extend;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Config\Repository as ConfigRepository;

return [
    // Register extenders here to customize your forum!
    new Extend\Compat(function(ConfigRepository $config) {
        $config->set('session.lifetime', 240); // In minutes. Default is 120
    }),
];

For reference the default is defined here https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/v0.1.0-beta.10/src/Foundation/InstalledSite.php#L186

hamedkouhfallah How can I make session timeout longer for all users?

See my suggestion above clarkwinkelmann that allows you to customize the session duration for users who don't use the "remember" feature.

luceos I never had any issue staying logged in

If you enable "remember me", then the session never really expires (it boots again from the remember cookie automatically). I rarely not use the remember feature, but I tested locally and the session does expire after 2 hours. If the Flarum tab is kept open during that time, strange things can happen if you try to start a new discussion or reply to the currently open discussion.

hamedkouhfallah I never had any issue staying logged in. Can you explain the set up of this user? OS, browser any browser addons that might impact his online experience?

luceos I am having this issue. After I close the page (the tab) it logs me out. But if I refresh the page, and remember is selected it logs me back in again. Any idea what may be causing this?

Thanks!

So i'm doing a bit of SSO with my implementation.. If i set the "flarum_remember" cookie is that the same thing as enabling "remember me"?
