Description
By default, WordPress makes your login session cookie expire in 48 hours (or on browser close), or 14 days if you check the “Remember Me” box. This plugin makes those timeout values user-configurable through the Users admin control panel.
Screenshots
This plugin lets you easily adjust the login timeout settings.
Installation
Prerequisites
I don’t think this will work with versions of WordPress earlier than 2.8, when the current option pages were implemented. You may want to directly hack the timeout values in the source code if you’re running an earlier version of WordPress.
The control panel uses Javascript. It may not work on really archaic browsers.
