Allow me to stay logged in for a long period of time
I access Mongo Cloud / Atlas very frequently. However, almost every day I need to re-login using my Google account. It doesn't seem to "remember" my session.
I would love if I can extend the default, and let me (and other members) stay logged in for a longer period of time.

This is the most annoying thing since moldy bread, plz increase the session time on cloud.mongodb.com!
Really i waste 10 minutes a day just clicking login, waiting for the google oauth popup, scrolling.... clicking my account etc... it's really just adding to my stress levels when i'm trying to monitor an issue.

I agree that it can be a pain logging in so frequently with 2fa. An alternate suggestion would be to add similar functionality to Stripes new 2fa method using touch ID on macs, I also understand this only solves the problem for a limited user cohort, but would love to see this functionality. It would certainly cause me to login more often.

Hi Ohad,
I understand that this can be burdensome. However, MongoDB Atlas, being at the data plane, is at the heart of the security concern. It's important to find a balance between appropriate defaults that democratize optimal security practices for most users, with optional advanced security options that only some users need to worry about. Daily login is definitely one that can be debated, but we've made an intentional decision to protect users from a less safe default.
