--- Comment #18 from Tim Starling <[email protected]> ---
Before CentralAuth, logout was local, and password change was an effective
global logout, invalidating all sessions and persistent cookies. I remember
reimplementing this policy in r5523, I had no problem with it.

The change in policy for CentralAuth was apparently done by Andrew Garrett in
r33061. The doc comment on resetAuthToken() indicates that it was a deliberate
policy -- although the fact that it is a different policy from the core was not
noted. I reviewed it at the time (as evidenced by r33063), but I don't think I
considered the logout policy beyond accepting the emphatic rationale in the doc
comment.

I am fine with the idea of making logout local again, but I think a nice
additional feature would be to add a button to the logout success page which
allows you to explicitly log out from all devices, without having to reset your
password.
