By default the login session in WordPress never expire shortly, this can be a less security in some cases. this extension is what seems I need to decide the login cookie expire session and from my test seems it works! Thank you!

I want to love this plugin BUT
The plugin is overly complex (I like my plugins to do just one thing) and puts two top level items in the wordpres menu. Also relies on javascript and ajax so it is not parrticularly robust Just do one job and do it simply and dont take over the admin and I´d be happy to give 5 stars
