I can live with the fact that Firefox / Chrome will remember session cookies for tabs that are open, but what I don't understand is why they remember session cookies for my site even when the tab is closed before closing the browser.

I found out how to make the login expire after a given time using session.permanent = True and then setting app.permanent_session_lifetime = 'so many minutes/seconds', which works perfectly, but isn't what I want. If the Session Restore window doesnвЂ™t appear automatically, you can try to call it by clicking History -> Restore Previous. If you check the tabs opened earlier that have to be restored and click Restore button, Firefox opens these web-pages. I examine the value of login_fresh() which returns true if the login is fresh, and it still returns True. Firefox can restore all windows and tabs open at the last exit or unexpected failure of Firefox.

The steps above are for a successful connection before youre with a proctor. I have played around with the idea of fresh logins with the Flask-Login extension thinking that closing the tab before closing the browser would surely mark the session as stale, but it doesn't. To avoid technical issues during your exam session, you must enable screen. However with both Firefox and Chrome the session-only cookie is still active when the browser is started again and I navigate to the page that is marked as I should also mention that I am passing False to the login_user remember argument like so: login_user(user, remember=False) Immediately create a new window for your new session and forget about that initial one. So if you are authenticated and then close the tab, and then close the browser, the browser should only restore the session-only cookies for tabs that were open when the browser closed. For now, if you end a session by closing the last tab (Ctrl+w), and have Firefox set to restore your session, I suggest treating the initial window as fundamentally broken.

All the research I have done on this site and elsewhere indicates that these settings should only work for open tabs. Just wondering if there may be a way to restore a Firefox Session that was the session before last I accidentally managed to end the session manually, when I opened Firefox and chose 'Start New Session' when given the option in the 'Restore Session' box, which I did not mean to do, after an AVG update which required firefox to be closed. The issue that has me stumped involves the 'Show my windows and tabs from last time' setting in Firefox and the 'Continue where I left off' setting in Chrome. I can make basic authentication work as expected.

I have been trying to learn Flask, and along the way the Flask-Login extension.
