@app.route('/login', methods = ['GET', 'POST'])
def login():
   if request.method == 'POST':
      session['username'] = request.form['username']
      return redirect(url_for('index'))
   return '''

This is the "template" for a flask session login. My question is,

'username'

is mapped to only one value which is the request.form['username']

So what if I have two users login, 

(1) 'jack'

So now session['username'] = jack

And then

(2) 'davis'

So now session['username'] = davis

But then jack is not logged in anymore. How do I do this?

It works. Just test the users (sessions) with at least one user opened in an incognito browser window.

We can use dictionary to keep separate variables and session for different users eg - >Demo Code

Instead of incognito I use gologin profiles. In their app it is comfortable to view the saved cookies of different browser instances. It works.

Flask session allows only one user to be logged in, but you can test your app with many users using following ways (there are some more though):

  • use incognito tab, but allows only 2 users to be logged in simultaneously

If you want 3 or more users:

  • use container tabs in Firefox

  • install MultiLogin extension or any other similar extension for multiple sessions, if you use Google Chrome for example or any other popular browser
