Control how recently users must have authenticated before performing sensitive actions.

You can now customize how long a successful sign-in or reverification remains valid for Clerk-protected sensitive actions. Set the reverification window between 1 and 10 minutes. The default remains 10 minutes.
A shorter window can prompt users to verify their credentials more often before actions such as changing a password, adding and removing an email address, revoking a session, or deleting an account.
To configure the window, open the Sessions page in the Clerk Dashboard. Under Session lifetime, set Reverification window to the number of minutes you want, between 1 and 10.
This setting applies to sensitive actions protected by Clerk. For sensitive actions unique to your application, define the required window in your application. See the reverification guide for details.
