You can't loose other sessions, this only affects the session data the user might have generated while visiting the site on a new browser without logging in right away. | |

\Drupal::service('session')->migrate() calls NativeSessionStorage::regenerate(), which calls session_regenerate_id(), which could cause a lost session, when using a mobile or Wi-Fi network.

If you mean that users who log in using a different device are logged out from the device they were previously using, that could be the effect calling session_regenerate_id() has: Currently, session_regenerate_id does not handle an unstable network well, e.g. Mobile and WiFi network. Therefore, you may experience a lost session by calling session_regenerate_id.

Drupal doesn't destroy the existing session; it just copies the data from the existing session to the new one. Otherwise, it would have a \Drupal::service('session')->migrate(TRUE); line. (migrate() uses FALSE as default value for $destroy, the first parameter.)

| Apr 20, 2022 at 19:25 | comment | added | 4uk4 | You can stay logged in on as many devices/browsers as you want. On user level all things you store in one place will be available everywhere else. It is, however, not possible to share a PHP session. But in Drupal there is not very much which depends on the PHP session. Can you be more specific what you mean by become a little hassle? | |
