That=E2=80=99s an unusual request so without understanding why someone =
would require such a thing, the basic implementation is going to have =
the same properties...

You=E2=80=99ll need a toggle in your central store (database) for that =
user. This toggle must reliably know if there is a session open, and =
this you=E2=80=99d likely toggle in session awake and asleep when you =
have an authenticated user.

Of course, you=E2=80=99ll run into the possibility that your session is =
stuck, lost to the user (like, if you left a session open on your phone =
and have no idea, you=E2=80=99d get locked out which in most cases is a =
critical failure of your service!) or otherwise you ever lose track of =
that =E2=80=9Coff=E2=80=9D part then your user would be locked out =
indefinitely and so on.

I think to understand how to approach that, you=E2=80=99d need serious =
details around the definition and purpose of the requirements because on =
the face of it, that=E2=80=99s just an idea that has serious =
consequences and it=E2=80=99s hard to imagine a value to balance that =
weight.
