Can Webflow automatically log out users after a period of inactivity without using Memberstack?

Yes, Webflow does not have a built-in feature to automatically log out users after a period of inactivity. However, there are a couple of workarounds you can use to achieve this functionality without relying on Memberstack or any third-party integration.

1. Custom Code:
You can use custom code to handle the session timeout and log out the user after a certain period of inactivity. Here's a step-by-step approach to implementing this:

- First, you'll need to add a script in the custom code section of your Webflow project. This can be added in the project settings under the 'Custom Code' tab or in the page settings under the 'Head Code' section.
- The script will include a timer that starts when the page loads and resets whenever there is user activity (e.g., mouse movement, keyboard input, etc.).
- You can use JavaScript to track user activity and reset the timer accordingly. For example, you can add event listeners for mousemove and keydown events to reset the timer.
- Once the timer exceeds the desired inactivity period, you can log the user out by either submitting a logout form or redirecting them to a designated logout page.

2. Auth0 Integration:
Another approach is to leverage the Auth0 authentication service, which integrates with Webflow. Auth0 provides session management features, including automatic session timeouts. Here's an outline of the steps involved:

- Set up an Auth0 account and configure it with your Webflow site. You'll need to follow the Auth0 documentation on how to integrate Auth0 with your Webflow project.
- Once the integration is in place, you can utilize Auth0's session management features to set the session timeout duration.
- Auth0 provides various mechanisms for handling session timeouts, such as logout URLs or custom rules that can be triggered when a session expires. You can customize these rules to perform the desired action, such as logging the user out or redirecting them to a specific page.

Remember that both of these methods require some technical knowledge and may require custom code implementation. It's advisable to consult Webflow's documentation or reach out to their support team for assistance.
