Provide the option to change JWT expiration/session time for Identity JWT

[futuregerald]

Currently JWT tokens expire after 1 hour with Netlify Identity. Can we have the ability to adjust the expiration for identity JWT tokens?

What is it you're trying to accomplish? What for?

This is just so you don't have to log in as often. For us we use JWT to protect the internal docs site and the expiration means we have to relogin multiple times throughout the day. I was wondering if we can have the ability to adjust the session time to avoid having to re-login multiple times a day.

While we now understand that we don't want to let customers have VERY LONG timeouts, I still think this is worth exposing for customer configurations. Auth0 gives a range from 10h to more so I think allowing a few hours would be a big help (maybe 8h - to match a workday so this CMS behavior is less likely to be catastrophic? decaporg/decap-cms#941

FYI This is already configurable in gotrue, just not exposed via the UI. See

Please file a bug on the UI.
