I understand the purpose of the login is to keep nefarious people who 'obtain' your phone from knowing the whereabouts to your friends. Does anybody know how long the iPhone keeps the session open after you enter the password? Is it even user-configurable the time-out period?

This has to do with your friends and not your device. I haven't nailed down exactly why some of my friends allow me to set geo-fenced alerts and others do not.
I don't see a setting to disable it other than the Show Geofence Alerts From: which implies that I can restrict those I see - not those I share with.
Sorry I can't offer a perfect fix, but this is something on the account / friend's side of things and not a switch you can control on your device.

Best Answer
just a guess: As in the App Store app a session is 15min, I would asume that a session in Find My Friends is also 15 min.
If you configured your phone to be locked (need to enter a pin after swipe to unlock), then you don't need to enter a password at all in find my friends [read somewhere, never tested myself].
