Hello, Your plugin is great, however would it be possible to control the number of concurrent logins for a particular account? For example i want to be able to limit maximum of 50 concurrent logins for accountx. Thanks https://wordpress.org/plugins/prevent-concurrent-logins/ Hi foobin, thanks very much! Unfortunately no, it’s not possible at this time. 1) The WP sessions features introduced in 4.1 do not allow sessions to be cherry picked. This plugin simply uses the “destroy other sessions” functionality, for which there are no threshold arguments available. 2) The scope of the plugin is for security hardening. By allowing more sessions for certain people that would be adding a feature to weaken security, at least in my eyes. Thanks for your quick reply. Is there “any” way to allow this function? My reason behind this is for my membership site, in which i would like to “sell” one login to use for an entire school, as to create 200 separate accounts. I’m sure there is “a way” but it’s not in the scope of what this plugin is currently meant to do, or what WordPress natively supports out-of-the-box. You are welcomed to create an issue for this and perhaps it will be something I can look into in the future.
