    There’s a plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/auto-logout/

    Logins are held by your cookies, though, so that’s more a browser feature.

    Thanks for the reply and the plugin link.

    But regarding the main issue, isn’t it a risky approach if a cookie is copied through a trojan or something? It could be a security matter. Wouldn’t that be a decision for admin if he could choose to allow such cookie feature or not in the blog?

    Yes, but that is, again, a browser issue (and in the case of a trojan, a computer issue). Worrying about WP having timeouts is like worrying that your bedroom door is unlocked. You should worry MORE about the house (i.e. your server).

    I understand. Thanks for your replay 🙂

    In case of server issues and file security, I appreciate if you could take a look at my other post regarding a suggested htaccess solution.

    Thank you in advance.

    The perishable press 5g firewall is in beta testing, and works mostly well (works great with WP, needs tweaks for other things). But recently I’ve stopped using it as it slowed my site down.

    htaccess isn’t where I put my firewall effort in. I actually use ConfigServer Security & Firewall and let that handle most of the drama. I spend more time on SERVER security than WP 🙂

    Ok, I understand. I appreciate your reply. 🙂

    In my case I use a hosted server and can not use anything other than what the hosting company decides. Therefore, I’m trying to do my best to make it as secure as possible at least from my side.
