    In Company settings, under Authentication, select how users sign in to Gong, affecting automatic logout times. Some methods require setup in providers first. Options include email, password, and Gong credentials. Team members are logged out after two weeks with Gong credentials, while common identity providers vary from 10 hours to 90 days. Google, Microsoft, and Salesforce are examples. Additional providers log out after 30 minutes of inactivity, with customizable settings for SAML SSO. Users are locked out for 60 minutes after five failed login attempts. For more details, refer to the authentication method guides.
