    How to set member authentication expiration timeout

    Hi, in Umbraco V8 we could set member authentication timeout the following way in the web.config file : 

    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms name="xyz" protection="All" path="/" timeout="15" slidingExpiration="true" />
</authentication>

    How can this be done with v9 when using IMemberManager.PasswordSignInAsync() ?

    Thank you

    You could try setting the Umbraco.Cms.Global.Timeout value: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/V9-Config/GlobalSettings/

    It's not fully described here, but the first part are settings that are general for users and members, so I reckon this could be it: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/reference/V9-Config/SecuritySettings/#keep-user-logged-in

    Thanks Ambert but those settings seems to affect back office users, not front-end members.

    Hm I tried to jump in code to find something about it, but couldn't find it yet. If you do find a way, don't forget to update this / update the documentation :-)

    Did found out the timeout is 30 minutes by default (you can see that in the yourAuthCookie that's set on logging in to a member area)

    Perhaps they use the default sessionstate from .net core?

    How about doing this in your Startup.cs:

    services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options => { options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30); });
