I setup my laptop to "remember me between sessions". Basically, I never logout.
I would be very disappointed if this would mean I could not use Wikipedia from
another system.

Also, it would really do nothing to help security. If you forget to logout from
computer A, how will preventing you from logging in from computer B help?
Computer A remains open for anyone to use either way.

The idea is not to prevent login from computer B but if same login is from
computer B, the user from computer A should be logged off automatically... again
when you login on computer A, the login at computer B should expire so that
noone else can use it.

Of course. This makes sense. However, if someone has "remember password across
sessions" checked in preferences, then this would not occur. Am I correct?

I am totally against that feature, I use the same account on multiple
computers and browsers at home.
Users should probably remember to logout when they use their account
on another computer.

Changed severity to enhancement and priority to low, given the opposing comments
above.
