Dev store's password session expires very quickly

Hi, recently there has been some changes on Shopify’s password protected theme’s session duration and it is expiring in a matter of minutes while I am in the middle of doing development works, which is very disrupting especially when working with app proxy because it suddenly takes me to the page to enter password and I have to restart the app proxy workflow again by entering the password and reopen all pages where it got redirected to the password page, which is very inconvenient.

Is there a way to extend the password session for the shopify dev stores? Thanks.
