When users register on my website, they get an email with an activation link. This link expires after about 3 hours.

How can I customize Devise (2.0.0) to keep this activation link Valid for 7 days?

Here's what I've tried:

# Model:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  devise :confirmable
end

# config/initializers/devise.rb
Devise.setup do |config|
  config.confirm_within = 7.days
end

Email activation link is still expiring after about 3 hours. Any suggestions?

What's the exact version of Devise you are using? – Fabrizio Regini Mar 17 '14 at 23:03
According to my `Gemfile.lock`: devise (2.0.0) – sergserg Mar 17 '14 at 23:05
Is there any particular reason for using 2.0.0 and not the latest version? – Kirti Thorat Mar 17 '14 at 23:06

`confirm_within` was renamed to `allow_unconfirmed_access_for` in Devise 2.0. It provides a "grace period" when the user can login to the web site without confirmation. – Alex P Mar 17 '14 at 23:23
