Description
For example if encrypted_session_expires is set at 1 hour, it seems appropriate to extend the expiry if the user is on the site continuously during that hour.
Seems like encrypted_session_expires is a site-wise property, and even if one manually change the cookie expiry, the backend logic of the module may not follow.
I am wondering what would be the best way to implement the above functionality using this module, if it is possible.
