| One possible solution is to change the way the forum handles logging in. At present, it stores one hashed token per user. What this means is, as soon as you login, it generates a new random token id, and stores that in your cookie.
Now it would be reasonably simple to allow multiple tokens (like many other sites do), so you can be logged in at more than one PC. I personally find it a hassle when I switch PCs for some reason, to have to login again.
However there is one big advantage of the system. It means that if you go to somewhere (eg. a friend's place, an Internet café or something) and login *and forget to logout again* - your (old) login session is automatically cancelled the moment you login again at a new place.
Perhaps a workaround is to allow multiple logins, but have some sort of "cancel all logins" button, which would remove from the database any login tokens you left lying around.
Another workaround might be to allow multiple logins, but only from the same IP address. That way, if you are in a house behind a router, and each PC seems to have the same IP address from the point of view of the web server, then all PCs can be logged in. Also, all domain names can be logged in, even from one PC (eg. gammon.com.au, www.gammon.com.au etc.).
That is probably the most secure solution, and the easiest to implement, apart from mucking around with the way the forum handles login tokens. |
