Hello,  
Could you help please to increase login session in keycloak auth in browser session?

As i see, when we use local account and check “Remember this device”, we receive a cookies.

- `_csrf` - set to expire 24 hours after login
- `gitea_awesome` - depends on LOGIN\_REMEMBER\_DAYS
- `gitea_incredible` - depends on LOGIN\_REMEMBER\_DAYS
- `i_like_gitea` - expires after session ends
- `lang` - expires after session ends

But when we use OpenID connect we have only \_csrf, i\_like\_gitea and lang, and should click OpenID button every day.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks and have a nice day.

> I have configured Gitea to auth with Authentik via OIDC. Prior …to that I was using local users, so the session would persist over a longer period, especially when 'Remember me' was ticked. I've noticed that when authenticating with OIDC, I don't remain logged in after closing the browser. This means users have to go through two extra clicks every time they visit in a new browser session.

Hi, lunny.

Thanks for the information.  
It’s very sadly, that we don’t have any workaround yet.

Have a nice day.
