PatrickRQ Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Hi, Where I can modify MFA timeout for google? It is a bit annoying to reach phone every 1h or less. I also ask to lift my posting moderation finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Marc Posted December 15, 2023 Solution Share Posted December 15, 2023 There is nowhere in which to change timeouts for this at the present time. You can only set that for all 2 factor. So go to 2 factor authentication>Settings, and you will see how often it should ask there. Â PatrickRQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickRQ Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 It does nto work well because of this "The user will always be prompted again on a new session." and this as long as I am unable to configure ACP session timeout the MFA timeout is useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.E. 2FA timeout was set to 1 minute, you would be prompted every 1 minute when accessing those items. With that in mind, we are looking into the ACP timeout still.

PatrickRQ Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 (edited) I have set 2FA timeout to 12, then changed to 1 day.. I am still prompted to fill 2FA security code every 1h. I connected it because you say 2FA is being reset once session ends. So, if ACP session is closed (after default 1h) the 2FA still will be requested.

Keep in mind 2FA will also prompt on login once the session is terminated. However, if you set 2FA to 1 min then every 1 min you will be prompted for 2FA. However, if you set it to 1 day and the session ends, it will still prompt you if you require 2FA as a part of your login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickRQ Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 Yeah, that's why I said I can't make an use of 2FA timeout because ACP session timeout is not respected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Are you referring to when you are logged in, or after your session is terminated as my colleague mentioned? If its after the session is terminated, then that is by design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickRQ Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) What I mean is that the ACP session timeout setting does not work SO when it gets terminated after default 3600 seconds the 2FA timeout setting has no effect if I want to set it greater than 3600 seconds. In other words, one bug affects two features. Edited December 20, 2023 by PatrickRQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the ACP timeout is the real issue here. We will continue to inspect that in the proper topic and that will resolve the issue here as well.
