## Session Length
The default session length for user authentication in Frigate is 24 hours. This setting determines how long a user's authenticated session remains active before a token refresh is require, otherwise another login will be required.
While the default provides a balance of security and convenience, you can customize this duration to suit your specific security requirements and user experience preferences. The session length is configured in seconds.
The default value of `86400` will expire the authentication session after 24 hours, some other examples:
- `0`: Setting the session length to 0 will require a user to log in every time they access the application or after a very short, immediate timeout.
- `604800`: Setting the session length to 604800 will require a user to log in if the token is not refreshed for 7 days.
```yaml
auth:
session_length: 86400
```
## JWT Token Secret
The JWT token secret needs to be kept secure. Anyone with this secret can generate valid JWT tokens to authenticate with Frigate. This should be a cryptographically random string of at least 64 characters.
