How to increase the admin Session Time in Magento 2?

How to increase the admin Session Time – When it comes to the Magento website’s day-to-day operation, Accessing the Magento admin section and performing many tasks is not arguably very important for a website owner. Not only the owner but also the website developer also required to log in and perform many tasks during the website development phase as well as the website maintenance phase.

Most of the time admins or developers are willing to not enter the admin login credentials each and every time. Requesting to log in between some tasks is really annoying right?

In Magento, we can force set up the session time as we wish from the admin panel.

Follow the steps below.

  • Login to the admin panel.
  • Go to Stores > Configuration
  • Select Admin under Advanced
  • Expand Security tab
  • Set Admin Session Lifetime (seconds)
  • Save

With the above steps, you can increase the admin Session Time in Magento 2.
