Why Laravel Auth Timeout?
-------------------------

[](#why-laravel-auth-timeout)

There are times where we want to log out a user when they haven't done any request within a set time. There is a workaround (below):

```
/* Somewhere in config/session.php */
'lifetime' => 15,

```

But this affects the entirety of the session. But it doesnt have to be and that is where Laravel Auth Timeout comes in.

Laravel Auth Timeout is a small middleware package that checks if the user had made any request in a set of time. If they have reached the idle time limit, they are then logged out on their next request. Thanks to Brian Matovu's [article](http://bmatovu.com/laravel-session-timeout-auto-logout/).
