The session will expire when you close the browser. So if you login, close the tab, wait two minutes and then you need to login again!
Laravel 5.2 will have extra functionality to handle these cases

Idle session expiration
There is a configuration in Laravel to set the session drive and idle expiration time, that I set to the following:
'lifetime' => 1,
'expire_on_close' => true,
Now, I logged into my Laravel application and left the screen idle for more than 1 minute ( actually 7 minutes ) and then refreshed the page, but I am not logged out.
I also re-started the browser but I am still in.
Do I need to code anywhere else for auto-logout?

@bobbybouwmann , that is one part i.e. expiration of session if the browser is closed. But what about the auto-expire after the idle time is reached? Why would not it work?
I have tried this solution https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/help-is-neededd-on-idle-session-time-out by @joostvanveen but it does not seem to use the Laravel config for idle time setting.

I have tried the solution https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/help-is-neededd-on-idle-session-time-out but got this error Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalThrowableError (E_ERROR) Call to undefined method Illuminate\Session\Store::set()
