Comment (by mitchellk):

 Seems there is no intention of ever offering a simple setting for users.
 Rather just hardcode things like this without having any switched or
 settings for users. Great approach. Might as well just close the issue.

 For those wanting a fix, here's a simple PHP snippet to add to your
 functions.php of your theme.


 {{{
 add_filter( 'auth_cookie_expiration', 'keep_me_logged_in_for_1_week' );
 function keep_me_logged_in_for_1_year( $expirein ) {
     return 604800; // 1 week in seconds
 }
 }}}

 or

 {{{
 add_filter( 'auth_cookie_expiration', 'keep_me_logged_in_for_1_month' );
 function keep_me_logged_in_for_1_year( $expirein ) {
     return 2628000; // 1 month in seconds
 }
 }}}
