Hi Team,

I would like my users to be logged in permanently automatically. Especially on mobile, i do not want them to be logged out ever. The background is that we are building a mobile app that uses the mobile website version of our Easysocial installation.

For this, I already activated the "remember me" setting automatically for all users. It works great most of the time.
However, it seems that after a couple of weeks users still get logged out occasionally.

Therefore my questions:

1. Is there anything that would log out a user whose session is a "remember me = yes" session?
2. How long does a remember me session hold normally?
3. What do i need to do in order to avoid that my users are ever logged out - unless they do so themselves - ?

Thanks!
Hi Marvin,
1. Is there anything that would log out a user whose session is a "remember me = yes" session?
The remember me function is just to remember the user session even after the browser is closed. Whether a user is logged out depends on other factors like session lifetime or session cookie expiration.
2. How long does a remember me session hold normally?
The remember me option is actually to prevent user being logged out when the browser is closed. The actual session will still depend on the session setting in global configuration(user activity extends this) and from joomla's authentication cookie plugin if the plugin is enabled.
3. What do i need to do in order to avoid that my users are ever logged out - unless they do so themselves - ?
You can try to increase the cookie lifetime in the Authentication - Cookie plugin(https://www.screencast.com/t/sZsdiOYPk).
