 * Dear,
 * Is it possible to invalidate the credentials if concurrent logins are tried?
 * Thanks a lot,
 * Jose

 * Hi Jose,
 * While I do see your point, something like this is not in line with the purpose
   of the plugin.
 * It’s primary purpose is to close the security hole that is created when a user
   logs in from a new location by automatically logging them out of their previous
   location.
 * So concurrent logins are “prevented” in the sense that that latest session is
   always considered valid, and old sessions are destroyed.
