How
this Remote log out works. Let us get to Know about Sessions?
In
older implementation, server used to save the passwords of the users on PC in hashed
form, whenever user log in to those
account, password is accessed by corresponding site decoded and user
automatically gets logged in.
Problem
with this approach was anyone has access to those cookies where log-in details
are saved and after bruit force, it may be decoded.
Concept of Session
Session
is another way to communicate with computer browser. In session, instead of
saving password or such data on system’s hard drive, server creates file on
Server itself to store such information.
For
accessing such data, server just create the cookies having random text, which
tell server to access that particular file after cookies get verified. Once cookies
verified, server finds the corresponding file on server’s own database and gets
the login details from there.
User
logged in easily using sessions, in above case, we just delete the session data
and make the cookies saved on those unreachable system untrusted, so when those
cookies sends data to server to retrieve username and password, server refuses
to access and ask for the username and password again, making account log-out.
This
layer up security on these accounts, and server get more secure. Such session
can be easily deployed using script languages like PHP.
Bottom line
You
can log out to your account from any unreachable system just make sure your
password is not saved on those system, in such case you need to change the
password. I hope you understood the concept of session, and if not go to last
section again. And don’t forget to share this with your friend circle using
social media. Have awesome time you all.
