How to set TimeOut for OwinContext in MVC 5
The way to set an fixed expiration time span is to set the ExpireTimeSpan property in your Startup.Auth.cs file like this:
// Enable the application to use a cookie to store information for the signed in userapp.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions{ AuthenticationType = DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie, LoginPath = new PathString("/Account/Login"), ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromDays(2)});Note that you'll also have to set the cookie to persist. In your code you'll have to pass in a bool in addition to the username and password, and then change
authenticationManager.SignIn(id); to be
authenticationManager.SignIn(new AuthenticationProperties { IsPersistent = rememberMe }, id);
With the following you do not need to use Startup.cs
AuthenticationManager.SignIn(new AuthenticationProperties() { IsPersistent = true, ExpiresUtc = DateTime.UtcNow.AddHours(1), }, id);
