@rp Why do I always get a new device Id (and pre-auth id) for passwordless (OTP) login even if I'm using the same device?

Hey
Cause each passwordless auth attempt is essentially stateless
These are IDs that are meaningful only in that passwordless login session. The next time you sign in, it’s like a new passwordless auth session. So new IDs

Right. In that case, you can override the createNewSession function on the backend and check how many sessions exist for the input.userId
If more than 0 sessions exist, you can throw an error and deny login
Or, you can revoke the existing session and go ahead and create a new one
