14 Day Rolling Logout? | WordPress.org

Currently if I log in on Day 1 and use my web site each day I still have to log in again on Day 14 (or 15). Wouldn’t it be better if the 14 days was rolling? So each time I use the web site the cookie gets pushed to 14 days time?

What are the arguments against this?

The 14-day “remember me” period is fixed from the time of the initial login and does not automatically extend based on ongoing usage of the website. This means that even if the user accesses the site daily, they will need to log in again once the original 14-day period expires.

There is no auto-refresh/extension of the login cookie just for logging in daily. This is a standard behavior of login cookies across all websites.

You can customize the duration and make your “remember me” login cookie stays valid much longer than 14 days (for example, you can use a value of 90 days or even longer).
