How to configure confirmation email token lifespan in asp.net core mvc

I'm trying to extend the lifespan of both confirmation emails and password reset emails but I can't manage to do so. Currently I'm using Asp.net core 1.0.1 if that's helpful.

Some tips or even better, the code, would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Maybe it will help someone=)

Just do this:

    public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
    {
        // ...
        services.Configure<DataProtectionTokenProviderOptions>(options =>
        {
            options.TokenLifespan = TimeSpan.FromDays(2); // Sets the expiry to two days
        });
    }

This works for me.

The following code change in the Create method (in the App_Start\IdentityConfig.cs file) sets the tokens to expire in 3 hours.

if (dataProtectionProvider != null)
 {
    manager.UserTokenProvider =
       new DataProtectorTokenProvider<ApplicationUser>
          (dataProtectionProvider.Create("ASP.NET Identity"))
          {                    
             TokenLifespan = TimeSpan.FromHours(3)
          };
 }

Hope this helps.
