[keycloak-user] Login multiple times

Hi,

It's possible (and sometimes likely) to have multiple browser tabs or windows showing the login screen for the same realm. This could for example happen after working with different systems in different tabs, and then timing out the whole SSO session. If the user then logs in from both / all tabs, then the last login will seemingly win, destroy all the other sessions (rather than all of them contributing to the same session). This implies that the other tabs will not have a valid session, and e.g. fetching a new access token will fail.

Is this a bug, a limitation, or is it intentional? And what's the recommended approach for dealing with this issue?
