Readme github.com/eirichmond/er-expire-user-cookie ↗

Simple cookie expiration to mitigate the risk of stolen cookies.

Description

According to wewatchyourwebsite.com, around 60% of hacked WordPress sites in 2023 were due to stolen cookie sessions, not plugin or theme vulnerabilities. I've created this function to automatically expire your session cookie after a defined amount of inactivity.

Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

e.g.

  1. Upload er-expire-user-cookie to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
