    I use Ecommerce Social Login, Social Sharing by miniOrange plugin to let customers login directly from their Facebook or Google accounts.

    I setup Sessions plugin to let up to one session per user for subscriptor and client roles and the plugin works well with standard Woocommerce login form. It shows the error message once a second login attempt occurs from other device.

    However when I login using a social login (facebook for instance) the plugin permits a second login from a different device.

    Could you please tell me if there is a way to solve this issue?

    Thanks.

    Hello!
    Just tested it and can confirm the issue.
    I just spent some time to read their code and, unfortunately, Sessions will never be able to limit sessions when these sessions are initialized with their plugin: they don’t use the standard WordPress mechanisms (they bypass them). I have no idea why they do that, but what is sure is: it is not the standard way to authenticate users in WordPress.

    I’m sorry.

    Thanks Pierre for your research and testing. I am sad to hear that. From your knowledge, Would you say that most of Social Login Plugins (using FB, Google and others Apps) bypass the standard WP mechanism?

    Sorry for this late answer @mrojoh…
    As soon as I know it’s not mandatory to bypass standard WP mechanisms and hooks ?? In fact, I don’t even understand why they do this…

    Personally I’m using Jetpack and Ajax Login, which both perfectly support (and use) WP standards.

    I’m sorry to be of little help…
