Your use case

What would you like to do?

In the Sessions section of Settings add a field that the user can specify how many days old a session must be before being automatically deleted.

Why would you like to do it?

Security. Tidies up old sessions and keeps the user and servers secure.

How would you like to achieve it?

As above

Have you considered any alternatives?

No response

Additional context

This could (and probably should) be an account specific setting that is stored and actioned on the server side. So this would be for the Element Web UI and I will make a similar report against synapse.

This would have to be a feature on the server as deleting sessions requires authentication on most servers so would not be possible by the client alone, as you identified
