I am developing a member site that has exclusive content for paying members only. These pages that hold the exclusive content are protected with permissions for "paying customers" of a certain plan. I would like to protect my client's content further, by limiting the active logins to 1 device at a time. I have recently found a site that sells content that is not theirs at a discount, by signing up and paying for that content once, then selling their login credentials to hundreds of people. I know there was a previous post on this type of concept, but figured I'd refresh it. Is there a way to limit the amount of logged in sessions per user to 1 session or device at a time? Another thought is an SMS verification, to where if a login attempt is made on an "unrecognized" device, it would prompt a verification SMS sent to the original owner of the login credentials. Then, the only way to successfully login after that would be to input the verification code. I believe either of the above options could work, just depends on if its ever been done in this fashion. Any help or advice would be highly appreciated. TIA!

I need the same thing, any luck?
Would this work?
Create a database collection to store user login information.
Write a function to check if a user is already logged in.
Modify the login process to include a check for concurrent logins.
Implement a function to clear the user login information upon logout
UPDATE: After speaking with WIX support, Velo and numerous developers, this custom functionality to limit logged in users to 1 device is not currently possible. Some developers have told me they created code to make this functionality happen, but I have not had good history in the past going that route. But the phone number verification upon login is possible using a Velo Package, connecting to Twilio API. Im in the process of integrating it and testing it, will post back here with updates on if it functions well or not!
Hi Tia,
This can be done with one or more of the methods mentioned by you, each method is fairly complex to be done here, I've done login history and security for a few websites in the past, if you're interested I can build it for you.
