Answer 1

Assuming you are using the session driver to handle your authentication, you can change the time period for an idle session to expire in the /app/config/session.php file.

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session Lifetime
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here you may specify the number of minutes that you wish the session
| to be allowed to remain idle before it expires. If you want them
| to immediately expire on the browser closing, set that option.
|
*/

'lifetime' => 120,

'expire_on_close' => false,

So after 120 s , to all the Auth::user will be auto logged out ? Is that correct ? – Osteoma

It's minutes. So after 120 minutes the user will be logged out. – Eunuchoidism

Ohh nice. Thanks for clarify. So I assume at the 119.999 minutes the program will automatically called the Auth::logout(); function at some point. Is that right ? Do you know where that in Laravel ? The reason why I am asking this, is because I want to set some value into my database before the log-out function. I hope to hear back from you. :) – Osteoma

@Osteoma were you ever able to figure this out? I also want to run a command before auto logout – Flaminius

The program will not automatically log the user out. Every time the user access a page on the site it will do a check to see if the time between their last visit is > x minutes . If it is, then the application logs them out, but the user needs to visit the site to trigger this. – Eunuchoidism

@Flaminius If you want to trigger some code every time a user is logged out, you could use an event subscriber for the auth.logout event. – Eunuchoidism

@Eunuchoidism this also make the csrf token expire in the same time, is there a way to only expire the user's session? – Baldridge

The location of this file has changed to /config/session.php – Sokoto
