Pi-hole, the popular software for network-wide ad blocking, also lets you customize specific settings, such as the login session duration. By default, when you log in to Pi-hole V6, the session lasts only 1,800 seconds, which is equivalent to 30 minutes. The option to ‘remember the password’ on your first login is no longer available, but you can adjust this setting within Pi-hole V6. Today, I’ll show you how to do it.

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.

STEP 5

Change the default value of 1800 seconds to 604800 seconds, which is equivalent to a 7-day login session duration. Alternatively, you can choose a value of 2592000 seconds, equivalent to a 30-day login session duration. Click Save & Apply. Follow the instructions in the image below.
