NOTE:
This feature is under development and not ready for production use. It is deployed
behind a feature flag that is **disabled by default**. To use it in GitLab
self-managed instances, ask a GitLab administrator to [enable it](../../../security/two_factor_authentication.md#enable-or-disable-two-factor-authentication-2fa-for-git-operations).
GitLab administrators can choose to customize the session duration (in minutes) for Git operations when 2FA is enabled. The default is 15 and this can be set to a value between 1 and 10080.
