Description
SessionQuota helps you prevent account sharing by controlling how many active sessions each user can have at the same time.
Set a global session limit and choose what happens when the limit is reached: block the new login, logout the oldest session(s), or keep only the latest session (single-session mode).
Key Features
- Global session limit: Set a maximum number of concurrent sessions per user (
0= unlimited). - Enforcement modes:
- Block new login when the limit is reached.
- Logout oldest session(s) required to stay within the limit.
- Logout all other sessions after a successful login (single-session mode).
- Simple setup: Manage settings from
Settings -> SessionQuota.
