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.

The only thing that I can see that is non-standard is that you are passing id.ToString() to the FormsAuthenticationTicket constructor. I usually pass the username in this parameter. Not sure whether this will make a difference, but worth a try.
