I have read some articles and tutorials about logging out the user when the session expires, but what I want to do this is to ONLY redirect the user to a page where the user MUST re-enter his/her password again to continue his/her activity without destroying his/her activity. How can I do that with ajax request so it automatically redirect without refreshing the page.
Many developers like me are confused and do not know, how to do this in a right or best way?
You can set long-time session. To do this you have to edit config/session.php and set lifetime to value you need in minutes. For example:
'lifetime' => 525600, // one year
After edit you have to clear config cache with command:
php artisan config:cache
