The "Session Invalidator" module enhances Drupal's security by invalidating all active sessions for a user when their password is changed. This forces a logout and requires re-authentication, ensuring that any unauthorized access is swiftly revoked following a password change.
Features
- Automatically invalidates all sessions upon password change.
- Forces logout and re-authentication to enhance security.
- Integrates seamlessly with Drupal's user and session management systems.
Post-Installation
After installing the "Session Invalidator" module, it functions immediately without any additional configuration. It hooks into user password change events and performs session invalidation and user logout operations automatically.
Additional Requirements
This module requires no external libraries or modules beyond Drupal core.
Recommended Modules/Libraries
- Login Security: Enhances the security options in the login operation.
- Password Policy: Allows administrators to define password policies.
