Description
Biscotti is a plugin that modifies the expiration of the logged in user cookie in WordPress to three months, six months, or one year. Because some people hate to have to keep entering their passwords.
WP-CLI Commands
As of version 2.1.0, Biscotti includes WP-CLI commands for managing a user’s logged in session cookie expiration.

This command returns the previously defined cookie expiration of a user.

<expiration> — New expiration duration. It must be one of the following values: `'3 months'`, `'6 months'`, `'1 year'`

FAQ

How do I work this thing?

Once the plugin has been activated, a new option will be available in the WordPress dashboard under “User -> Profile” called “Login Cookie Expiration”. There, you can select the cookie expiration date of 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year on a per-account basis.
After updating this setting, you will need to log out and back into WordPress for your new cookie expiration value to take effect.
Enjoy your long cookie!
