Sitefinity Authentication Expiration
The Sitefinity authentication expiration is stored in a cookie (AuthCookieTimeout). The default value is 600 minutes, but you should change it for a value lower than the web site session time out (web.config).
For example:
At the web.config in <system.web> section review the tag:
<sessionState mode="StateServer" timeout="32" cookieSameSite="None"/>
The timeOut with 32 minutes, then the AuthCookieTimeout should be replaced with 30 minutes or less.
To adjust the expiration timeout of the authentication cookie:
1. Open the Sitefinity Backend and Login using an Administrator Account.
2. Navigate to Administration -> Settings -> Advanced.
3. Click Security and in the AuthCookieTimeout input field, set the expiration in minutes, for example 30.
4. Save your changes.
