Help with logging off current sessions (other users on same account)

[Guest]

Can anyone help me remove unwanted users from my emby account? I have changed my password, but doing so does not log off a user that is currently on. Any help is appreciated!

Disable the user, then re-enable it - this will force re-authentication using your new password.

If this is your only user - then create another Admin user first, then logon as that Admin, THEN disable the other account.  Remove the temp Admin account once you are happy.

Can you explain how to disable the user, which I assume you mean my account? The only options I see are 1) delete account, and 2) view current devices (which is not even showing me the devices that I know are on for a fact). Thanks for any help!

Good day,

I removed the login's devices from your account, regarding the solution giving above, from your emby server dash/setting, click on users, then do as suggest.

My best

Which emby client ?

If I change password via the web client - it immediately throws out that user.  Same with a user disable - the session is terminated and requires the user to log back in again.
