Hello. Can you please tell me how to increase the cookie time? Forces me to re-authorize every half hour...

By default, the session expiration time is around 10 min means if you are inactive on site from the last 10 min it will automatically log out after 10 minutes of inactivity.

If you wish to change it follow the below solution:

Locate path in your project config -> packages -> framework.yaml

You will basically store the sessions in the /var/sessions/ directory and that's it, the lifetime option will work again. You can do this quickly by modifying your framework.yaml file in the session block like this:

session:
      handler_id: session.handler.native_file
      save_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/var/sessions/%kernel.environment%'
      # 2 Days lifetime (172800 seconds)
      cookie_lifetime: 172800
      cookie_secure: 'auto'
      cookie_samesite: 'lax'

Most probably it should work for you.

And after saving the framework.yaml file you should clear your project cache by the below command:

php bin/console c:c

       handler_id: null
        cookie_lifetime: 172800
        cookie_secure: auto
        cookie_samesite: lax
        storage_factory_id: session.storage.factory.native

It didn't work for me, please tell me, should I add something else?

       handler_id: null
        cookie_lifetime: 172800
        cookie_secure: auto
        cookie_samesite: lax
        storage_factory_id: session.storage.factory.native

It didn't work for me, please tell me, should I add something else?

You have not added in handler_id: session.handler.native_file and also not added the save_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/var/sessions/%kernel.environment%' option so please you will add complete the below lines.

You will add all these lines the same as just copy and paste it into the framework.yaml file:

session:
      handler_id: session.handler.native_file
      save_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/var/sessions/%kernel.environment%'
      # 2 Days lifetime (172800 seconds)
      cookie_lifetime: 172800
      cookie_secure: 'auto'
      cookie_samesite: 'lax'
