## Kuvaus

This plugin detects idle user and execute the action that is being specified in 
Admin End.

The plugin is very minimalistic. Nothing fancy. So, if you are looking for a plugin
that adds up security without having to add additional load in your website, you
can try this plugin.

From version 2.0, you can now specify the action and time for each user role.

It tracks the users activity in both the front end and admin end.

You can setup Idle Time from WP Admin > Settings > Idle User Logout

Once you reach Idle User Logout Page, you can setup behavior of the plugin for each
user\’s role.

If there is any problem, or need any help, we can give you a helping hand.

## Asennus

Installation is very simple:

 1. Upload the plugin\’s folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the \’Plugins\’ menu in WordPress
 3. That\’s it! Go to Settings > Idle User Logout and configure the field \”Auto Logout
    Duration\” as you want.

## UKK

### How do I change the idle time period?

Go and configure the time period whatever you like from your admin end general settings
page.

It\’s in milliseconds, so 2 seconds is equal to 2000 ms of idle time.

### What happens if I accidentally set time to 1 Second?

It isn\’t possible. The plugin does some validation, which force user to set idle
time minimum 10. If left blank, it will take default time mentioned in General Settings
tab.

It just works! Simple and easy to use! Just tested it with WordPress 6.7.1. After
a lot of searching and finding plugins that log you with just simply reducing the
session timeout and others that don't log you out even if idle for hours, I am glad
that I found this plugin! Just does what I needed!

### 󠀁[It still works in 2020 (great for stopping xss hacks)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-still-works-in-2020/)󠁿

 [vermaakpetrus](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vermaakpetrus/) 3.12.2020

It's simple, effective and works beautifully in 2020. Love that I can set it for
specific roles and leave others. Cross site attacks (xss) that steal cookies to 
hack into WordPress is a very common problem. It's the number 1 method for attacking
wp sites. I cannot even remember how many times my testing sites have been hacked
with this method. Install this plugin, and set the timeout to 5 min (300 sec). Do
not disable for wp-admin. Set Administrator to be redirected to login, time 5 min(
300 sec). No more cookie hijack hacking because they will have to re login.

This plugin is no longer working properly. Tried it on my client's site and it is
super buggy. Just logs me out no matter what.
