How long do changes stay unlocked after I enter the code?
Ten minutes, counted from the moment the code was accepted, and the screen shows the time remaining. The window does not extend while you work, so a long form may ask you again — your entries are kept and the save carries on once you confirm. Changing your password or signing out your other devices ends the window immediately.
From the guide Account Security: SSO, 2FA & Passkeys.
How long you stay signed in
By default you stay signed in for as long as you keep using Seayora. A browser signs you out after 24 hours without use, and the Seayora app after 60 days without use — so opening the app once a month to pay rent keeps you signed in, and nobody is thrown back to the sign-in page halfway through something.
Under Settings → Security → “Sign out automatically after” you can make it stricter — 1 hour, 8 hours, 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. That time is counted from when each device first signed in, however much you use it in between, and choosing a shorter one also ends older sessions within about a minute. On a phone, the app lock (a PIN or pattern, with Face ID or a fingerprint over it) is the way to keep the app private without signing in again.
If you run a contractor team, you can set the same rule for everyone on it, and require two-factor for the team, under “Team sign-in rules” — in Settings → Sign-in security on the website, and in your business settings in the app. When the team’s time and a person’s own time differ, the shorter one applies.
