I'm using the Google reCAPTCHA component and have been asked to increase the session timeout. I couldn't find any solution for this. Can it be done? Many thanks.

I'm afraid there's no solution for this, as the reCAPTCHA challenge is served from Google, so the session is not between your app and the user but with the reCAPTCHA service and the user. Think of reCAPTCHA as a multi-tenant web app (where each tenant is the site that's displaying it), and the only settings available to each tenant are the authentication keys and the type of challenge that should be displayed.
