Comment (by siliconforks):

 Replying to [ticket:63230 peterwilsoncc]:
 > Additionally the filter `auth_cookie_expiration` is fired for logins set
 to be forgotten but the value returned by the filter is ignored by
 WordPress.

 Isn't the value still used on the server side, though?  I believe the
 value is checked in `wp_validate_auth_cookie()` (regardless of whether
 "remember me" was used or not):
