Active Sessions

Learn how to view and manage your active login sessions across all devices in Ottili ONE.

View and manage your active login sessions across all devices where you're signed in to Ottili ONE.

Why Manage Sessions?

  • Security*: Sign out of devices you no longer use or have lost
  • Privacy*: Ensure only your devices have access to your account
  • Awareness*: See where and when your account is being accessed
  • Control*: Revoke access from suspicious or unauthorized sessions

Viewing Active Sessions

Step 1: Navigate to Sessions

1. Sign in to your Ottili ONE account

2. Go to [auth.ottili.one/sessions](https://auth.ottili.one/sessions)

3. Review your active sessions

What You'll See

Each session shows:

  • Device*: Browser and operating system (e.g., "Chrome on macOS")
  • Location*: Approximate location based on IP address (e.g., "Berlin, Germany")
  • IP Address*: The IP address used for this session
  • Last Active*: When this session was last used
  • Current*: Indicates the session you're currently using

Managing Sessions

Sign Out of a Single Session

1. Go to [auth.ottili.one/sessions](https://auth.ottili.one/sessions)

2. Find the session you want to end

3. Click "Sign out" next to that session

4. Confirm the action

Understanding Session Information

Device Information

Sessions show the browser and operating system:

  • Chrome on macOS*: Google Chrome browser on Mac
  • Safari on iOS*: Safari browser on iPhone/iPad
  • Firefox on Windows*: Firefox browser on Windows PC
  • Mobile Safari*: Safari on iOS device

Location Information

Location is approximate and based on IP address geolocation:

  • May show city/region level, not exact address
  • VPN users may see the VPN server location
  • Mobile users may see different locations as they move

IP Address

The IP address used when the session was created or last refreshed:

  • May change if you move locations or switch networks
  • VPN users will see the VPN server IP
  • Not a reliable way to identify a specific device

Last Active

Shows when the session was last used to access Ottili ONE:

  • "Just now" = active in the last minute
  • "5 minutes ago" = active 5 minutes ago
  • "2 hours ago" = active 2 hours ago
  • "Yesterday" = active yesterday

Session Security

When to Review Sessions

Review your active sessions regularly:

  • Monthly*: Check for unfamiliar devices or locations
  • After travel*: Verify sessions from travel locations are yours
  • After sharing devices*: Sign out of shared/public computers
  • After security incidents*: Check for unauthorized access

Signs of Unauthorized Access

Watch for these warning signs:

  • Unknown devices*: Browsers/OS you don't use
  • Unknown locations*: Cities/countries you haven't visited
  • Unexpected times*: Activity when you were asleep/away
  • Multiple sessions*: More sessions than devices you own

What to Do If You See Suspicious Activity

1. Sign out the suspicious session* immediately

2. Change your password* at [auth.ottili.one/change-password](https://auth.ottili.one/change-password)

3. Enable 2FA* if not already enabled

4. Review recent activity* in your account

5. Contact support* at support@ottili.one if you suspect a breach

Session Lifecycle

How Sessions Work

1. Sign in*: Creates a new session with access and refresh tokens

2. Access token*: Short-lived (15 minutes), used for API requests

3. Refresh token*: Long-lived (30 days), used to get new access tokens

4. Automatic refresh*: Access tokens refresh automatically when needed

5. Session expiry*: Sessions expire after 30 days of inactivity or when signed out

Session Expiry

Sessions expire when:

  • Inactivity*: No activity for 30 days
  • Absolute timeout*: 90 days from creation (even with activity)
  • Manual sign out*: You sign out of the session
  • Password change*: All sessions are revoked when you change your password
  • Account lock*: Account is locked due to security concerns

Automatic Token Refresh

You don't need to manually refresh sessions:

  • Access tokens refresh automatically when they expire
  • Refresh tokens rotate on each use for security
  • You stay signed in as long as you use your account regularly

Best Practices

1. Use Strong Authentication

  • Enable 2FA or passkeys for all sessions
  • Use unique, strong passwords
  • Don't share your credentials

2. Sign Out of Shared Devices

Always sign out when using:

  • Public computers (libraries, internet cafes)
  • Shared devices (family computers, work devices)
  • Borrowed devices (friend's phone/laptop)

3. Review Sessions Regularly

Check your sessions:

  • Monthly for routine security
  • After traveling or using new devices
  • If you notice unusual account behavior

4. Use Trusted Devices Only

Avoid signing in on:

  • Untrusted or compromised devices
  • Devices with outdated software
  • Devices with malware or keyloggers

5. Secure Your Devices

Protect devices with active sessions:

  • Use device PIN/password/biometrics
  • Enable device encryption
  • Keep operating systems updated
  • Install security updates promptly

Troubleshooting

"Session expired" Message

Cause*: Your session has expired due to inactivity or timeout.

Solution*: Sign in again at [auth.ottili.one/login](https://auth.ottili.one/login)

"Too many sessions" Warning

Cause*: You have more active sessions than expected.

Solution*:

1. Review all sessions at [auth.ottili.one/sessions](https://auth.ottili.one/sessions)

2. Sign out of sessions you don't recognize

3. Change your password if you see suspicious sessions

Session Not Showing Current Device

Cause*: Current session may not be marked correctly.

Solution*:

1. Refresh the page

2. Sign out and sign in again

3. The new session will be marked as "Current"

Location Shows Wrong City/Country

Cause*: IP geolocation is approximate and may be inaccurate.

Solution*:

  • This is normal for VPN users or mobile networks
  • Focus on device/browser information instead
  • If the device is unfamiliar, sign out that session

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions can I have?

There's no hard limit, but we recommend keeping sessions only on devices you actively use. Most users have 2-5 active sessions (phone, laptop, tablet).

Do sessions expire automatically?

Yes! Sessions expire after:

  • 30 days of inactivity
  • 90 days from creation (even with activity)
  • When you change your password
  • When you manually sign out

Can I see session history (past sessions)?

No, only active sessions are shown. Once a session expires or is revoked, it's removed from the list.

Will signing out of a session delete my data?

No! Signing out only ends the authentication session. Your data (projects, files, settings) remains in your account.

Can someone use my session if they steal my device?

If your device is protected with a PIN/password/biometric, they cannot access your sessions. Always secure your devices.

Why do I see multiple sessions from the same device?

This can happen if:

  • You signed in from different browsers on the same device
  • You cleared cookies and signed in again
  • You used incognito/private browsing mode

Can I name my sessions?

Not currently. Sessions are identified by device/browser information. You can add a note to help identify them (coming soon).
