Multiple logins with the same user

We noticed that when we login in twice with the same user we get the same session. Is this something that should always happen, or can this be changed without notification?

Hi Ashley,

It's based on your salesforce org.  Session setting 
Check session sesseting(From Setup, click Security Controls | Session Settings)

Length of time after which the system logs out inactive users. For Portal users, the timeout is between 10 minutes and 12 hours even though you can only set it as low as 15 minutes. Select a value between 15 minutes and 12 hours. Choose a shorter timeout period if your organization has sensitive information and you want to enforce stricter security.

If we are login in twice or more times with the same user we get the same session within Length of time after which the system logs out inactive users then salesforce will resturn same session. I have seen this in realtime in one of my past interation project.

Please let me know if this helps you.

Best Regards,
-Vivek
