Why are my forms authentication tickets expiring so fast?

Question

I\'m using forms authentication in an ASP.NET application. I configure the FormsAuthenticationTicket to expire in 1 year but it actually expires after 1 hour or so.

Answer 1

I don't see anything wrong with the code. What browser are you using, perhaps it doesn't recognize the expiration date of 1 year? I would look at the response headers with fiddler or some such tool and see what's actually being sent.
