Lee, Thanks a ton for your advice. What you say makes good sense. I really don't expect that two users would be on the same browser at the same time, but I was trying to anticipate the case where maybe a family shares a computer and all shares the same browser without closing out sessions. I simply want to prevent the case where mom, dad, brother, and sister all end up getting frustrated because their account acts weird as described.
If the app in question is that sensitive that if a user doesn't log out and allows someone else to browse back to the site using their account details then you should make very short sessions and have warnings everywhere on log in/registration/etc. Otherwise I don't see this happening very often at all and it may not be worth the extra effort to work around this particular scenario.
So, it sounds as though this simple redirect is just what you allude to -- more an act of convenience than anything else, because if User1 wanted, User1 could simply be malicious and go straight into User2's account instead of messing around with a maimed account.
Yes, but that's the case with every shared computer. If I leave my account up and running on my Mac then anyone could read my emails, look at my address book and use my websites with passwords stored in the keychain. It's just one of those things with shared computers.
