How to Manage Magento 2 Admin Session Lifetime & Fix Timeout Issues
Published: Updated:
About this post
- Configuring the Magento 2 admin session lifetime is essential for maintaining the right balance between your store’s security and usability.
- In case the timeout is too short, admins get logged out automatically while working on critical tasks. In most cases, they’ll have to do all the work again, resulting in duplication of effort and waste of valuable resources. If the timeout is too long, it exposes your store to unwanted security risks such as unauthorized access. Knowing how to configure the admin session lifetime is beneficial for store owners.
- To further strengthen your store’s security, we recommend using third-party extensions. For more information, check out Best Magento 2 Security Extensions to Secure Your Store. In addition, setting up 2FA in Magento 2 can add an extra protective layer.
