Is there a way to increase the duration before my session is expired? I get signed out too quickly, I think even after a couple of hours.
Especially troublesome with 2FA, will need to put password again, and get the codes again.
Is it just me with my internet connection?

Hey there 👋
I haven’t experienced this myself, my session usually stays active for quite a long time without needing to log back in.
Do you happen to use a VPN, a privacy-focused browser, or any extensions that might clear cookies automatically?
Sometimes stuff like that can mess with session persistence.
Also worth testing on a different browser or device just to see if it behaves the same.
Let me know what you find!

Heya, @19d5d93d8e714bebb09618dca411c8
Same here, the session stays active for a very long time, are you switching networks or using VPN by any chance?
