UX: Longer sessions

[alexmo1997]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, when I logon to TUMLive, those sessions expire after a week. On Desktop, this isn't a big of a deal, but on mobile it is really frustrating that I have to relogin every week.

Describe the solution you'd like Make sessions (much) longer in general (or not expire at all) and/or refresh them when the user uses the site. I know of no other streaming sites where I have ever had the problem of being logged out. Frankly, I don't think an applications such as TUMLive warrants such special security measures.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Only make sessions longer for students (so admins/lecturers don't lose any security benefits)
• Make it a setting
• Make them longer only for mobile useragents
• Have a TUMLive app (but I guess inside of that app you would still have persistent sessions, so why not do that for the website)

Additional context I am not sure if there is something you can do about this given that this is probably mostly handled by Shibboleth, but I hope so.
