Hi everyone, we appreciate the interest surrounding this idea, however we want to be open that we're unable to extend our log-out time past 60 minutes. Xero hold a lot of sensitive information including bank data and we're required to be as secure as online banking.
Any session information running on a web browser can potentially be stolen. If the session does not time out. You then have an infinitely long vulnerability window to session hijacking. Our best option is to keep a tight expiration window on the session cookie, and regenerate them frequently. Even setting a long timeout doesn't help with this - too long a timeout will greatly increase the risk of invasion or potentially jeopardise your personal data and the safety and integrity of the Xero application itself. This is why we maintain control of this.

Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to share feedback about paying multiple bills in foreign currencies with us here.
As mentioned in my last update UK organisations can use our online bill payments solution with Crezco to pay international suppliers.
UK businesses can now use open banking to pay suppliers in 180+ countries, including in EUR, USD and AUD, either individually or in batches. Payments can be prepared by a team member, authorised and tracked in Xero.
To share further progress in the US we've launched online bill payments through Melio, which includes ACH and international or cross-border payments.
We've also launched a bill payments solution for AU with AirWallex that's currently in early access. This doesn't yet support paying in foreign currency however this functionality is high on our radar as we continue to develop this experience.
We’ll continue to share progress as the further regional capabilities develop. Thanks
As with not being able to post a payment under bills to pay unless in home currency this issue also seems ot have been around for such a long time. So many people work from home on their own, and it really does not make sense to not enable them to etend this time. Xero is losing rapidly its reputation as responsive to its users needs when compared to other cloud based accounting packages not only amongst users but also accountants who promote to their clients.
