    I am trying to prevent multiple logins from the same account, so that no member gets to share his username and password,something like in this thread:http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/191523/


    from the CP Home ›  Admin ›  System Preferences ›  Security and Session Preferences
    both control panel session type and user session type are set to Session only
    and Allow multiple log-ins from a single account? is set to no

    and referring to thread above i cleared out my exp_security_hashes table
    and still can login at the same time from many browsers within the same PC and from another PC too.

    the same problem i was facing more than a year ago… where i’ve been asked to upgrade to the latest version.. which was 1.7 back then.. and after upgrading still having the same problem,

    Thanks in advanced

    Hi xotox,

    I’m sorry that this feature isn’t working as intended. I was able to confirm so I have filed a Bug Report on your behalf. Feel free to comment on it so that you can be notified of any progress.

    Cheers!

    Hi Dan,


    I end up changing the table of exp_session ,
    where i make the member_id field a primary key for this table, so no 2 access from the same member can have 2 sessions….


    the dynamic=“off”,.... did not work… when i changed the above,.... but i was not needed ...


    so i guess i am ok now…
    hope this will help others!!

    and will get back to you.. if something wrong occurred… and hope nothing will happened..

    as i test my website… and every thing was working just fine “AlHamdulellah”


    😊:):)  thanks again
