How can I set the login time-out on third-party script to match aMember?

    The problem at the moment is users are having their aMember session expire before the third-party script session expires. When this happens and they are in the third-party script, if they click the "logout" link (which takes them to amember/logout) then aMember doesn't run any logout method and so they are not logged out of the third-party script, meaning they just stay logged in until the cookies expire.

    How can I set the expiry time of the cookies so that they run out at the same time as aMember sessions in the loginUser() function of a plugin?

    By default aMember set session lifetime to 7200 seconds. (two hours)
    So you should modify other scripts timeouts accordingly.

    Thanks. Is there a way to fetch this as a variable inside an aMember plugin? That would be useful.

    Check ini_get('session.gc_maxlifetime');
