Error in admin login message

File: admin/includes/languages/english/login.php

define('LOGIN_EXPIRY_NOTICE', 'Please be aware that after 15 minutes of inactivity, you will be required to login again.<br /><br />Note: All passwords expire every 90 days.');

Should be

define('LOGIN_EXPIRY_NOTICE', 'Please be aware that after ' . SESSION_TIMEOUT_ADMIN . ' minutes of inactivity, you will be required to login again.<br /><br />Note: All passwords expire every 90 days.');

Re: Error in admin login message

That makes sense. I haven't been able to figure out what I need to do to increase the session_timeout_admin. Can you offer any advice on where to change it?

Thanks.

That's beyond the scope of this bug report.
The admin session timeout length is allowed to be a maximum of 15 minutes of inactivity, as per PCI regulatory requirements. There is intentionally no built-in means of increasing that limit to violate rules which protect the safety of your store and your customers and their personal information. And the matter has been discussed ad nauseum in countless other forum threads.
