Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently in Joomla users can login concurrently using the same username

Describe the solution you'd like

i would like to limit one user per session so that a user cant login using another computer or browser when already logged in. I want to achieve this without a plugin

Additional context

Why? I would say that's the job of a plugin.

And, by the way, I don't see a reliable way to check if a user just forgot to log out correctly. Then the log in from another computer/browser will be blocked at least until the next session timeout. Maybe longer.

And please describe a common use case for this issue. I can't imagine one.

such thing often used on paid/per subscription services

that easy, when user logged in then all existing session for same user "logout"

I think it a job for a plugin developer.

Yes, that's easy. Kicking all logged in users out if somebody tries to login with same credentials/userId.
But @MauriceTerer said:

so that a user cant login using another computer or browser when already logged in.
