What is the recommended way to extend the timeout in phpMyAdmin 4.4.6?

In phpMyAdmin 4.4.6, the timeout for user sessions is set to a default value, which may not be sufficient for certain tasks that require longer periods of inactivity. To extend the timeout, you can modify the configuration file to increase the session duration. This can be done by setting the 'LoginCookieValidity' parameter in the configuration file to a higher value.

php
// Extend session timeout in phpMyAdmin 4.4.6
$cfg['LoginCookieValidity'] = 3600; // Set session timeout to 1 hour
