The ***Force Login*** functionality has been established to control the number of active sessions up to three. The users can access only 3 sessions at a time when they try to access the 4th session, a warning message displays to inform them that the user has consumed the permitted sessions, and a click on the ‘**Force Login**’ would kill all those active sessions. 

* Navigate to the BDB Platform Sign-In page.
* Enter the valid credentials to log in.
* Select an **Auth Type** from the given choices.
* Click the **Sign In** option.

* The user gets a notification that all the permitted sessions are already consumed and it will inform the user that ***Force Login*** will terminate all the active sessions.
