for password protected pages -- how long until the password expires once the user enters it?

Hi.  Once a user enters the password for a password-protected page, how long until that password sessions ends and the user would need to re-enter the password?  With individual password-protected pages, there isn't a way to "logout" is there?

Thanks.

A person does not need to re-log on unless they leave the site, and that log-on is not needed if they log back on soon after leaving. The site remembers the password stored in the sign-on device cookie cache for a certain amount of time. What that is I don't know for sure.

How might I find out the amount of time the sign-on device cookie is cached?

It is a "session cookie" called "Locked" so it doesn't have a maximum age like permanent cookies. It will be deleted when the current session ends. The user's browser defines when the "current session" ends.
