# Force Login

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.
