#47088 reopened defect (bug)

Visting wp-login.php whilst logged in logs you out

Description

I leave multiple, regularly-used WP admin tabs open in a browser window. The login sessions time out, as expected, resulting in tabs with URLs like https://example.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fadmin.php%3Fpage%3Dfoo-bar&reauth=1

If log in on such a tab to do something, then switch to another tab that also has that type of auto-logged-out URL, I am immediately logged out of the site.

I would expect WP to realise that I am logged in and simply honour the redirect already in the URL, or at least provide the choice of logging out or going to the redirect page/dashboard.

Thanks, we are already tracking this in #14949.

I think this ticket is different from #14949. That one is about getting an inaccurate "You are now logged out" message on the login page without actually being logged out.

This one is about the login page forcibly clearing cookies if reauth flag is set, see [14556]. Whether or not it's the intended behavior is up for discussion.

Whether or not it's the intended behavior is up for discussion.

Per comment:33:ticket:12142, it appears to be.
