Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/issues/229

The Remember me checkbox currently causes the session cookie to expire (and therefore a logout) after 12 hours, which can be quite annoying on private machines.

Please consider adding either an additional checkbox to stay logged in for longer periods (30 days? 90 days? a year even?) or consider adjusting the behavior of the existing one.

I think most people wouldn't expect to get logged out after just 12 hours after ticking a checkbox that says Remember me. On most sites this would at least mean several days, but usually around a month I'd think.

Agree. I think I changed my fork to 30 days. I'll increase the session expiry significantly, though as sessions are only stored in RAM, you'll still have to log in again after a restart.
