Biscotti makes your user's login cookie a little bit longer.

<p>Take control of the “Remember Me” login feature for WordPress by having it enabled by default, customize how long users are remembered, or disable this built-in feature by default.</p>
<p>For those unfamiliar, “Remember Me” is a checkbox present when logging into WordPress. If checked, WordPress will remember the login session for 14 days. If unchecked, the login session will be remembered for only 2 days. Once a login session expires, WordPress will require you to log in again if you wish to continue using the admin section of the site.</p>
<p>This plugin provides three primary controls over the behavior of the “Remember Me” feature:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatically check “Remember Me” : The ability to have the “Remember Me” checkbox automatically checked when the login form is loaded (it isn’t checked by default).</li>
<li>Customize the duration of the “Remember Me” : The ability to customize how long WordPress will remember a login session when “Remember Me” is checked, either forever or a customizable number of hours.</li>
<li>Disable “Remember Me” : The ability to completely disable the feature, preventing the checkbox from appearing and restricting all login sessions to 2 days.</li>
</ul>
<p>NOTE: WordPress remembers who you are based on cookies stored in your web browser. If you use a different web browser, clear your cookies, use a browser on a different machine, or uninstall/reinstall (and possibly even just restarting) your browser then you will have to log in again since WordPress will not be able to locate the cookies needed to identify you.</p>
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
<p>Other than the plugins listed below, compatibility has not been tested or attempted for any other third-party plugins that provide their own login widgets or login handling.</p>
<p>Special handling has been added to provide compatibility with the following plugins:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/" rel="ugc">BuddyPress</a> (in particular, its “Log in” widget)</li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/sidebar-login/" rel="ugc">Sidebar Login</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-sidebar-widget/" rel="ugc">Login Widget With Shortcode</a></li>

Remember Me Controls

2 years without updates and still working well. 
A little code review to confirm everything is still ok would be nice though ;) 

Still working great!

Have "Remember Me" checked by default on the login page and configure how long a login is remembered. Or disable the feature altogether.
