is it possible to limit the number of days a persistent authentication cookie is valid?

Hi.

I tried changing the password for an admin user.

but as persistent authentication cookies are enabled on the site, there is no need for re-login.

I don't want to completely disable it.

It would be better if the the user's authentication cookie expired after a limited time and he had to re-login each week.

can it be done?

Yes, this is controlled by the timeout on the <forms element in Web.config. In the latest code in the repository I have recently changed it to 20160 (it is in minutes so that is 2 weeks) for the default value, previously it was much longer.

Hope that helps,

Joe
