Description (last modified by )
Say a user opens two tabs to the same site, both show the login page.
The user logs in on Tab A, does some things, after a while changes to Tab B, sees the login page, and instictively clicks login (their details pre-populated due to auto fill). They will then get a surprising CSRF error.
I thing this is because when they logged in on Tab A, it deleted the anonymous session, and replaced it with a new session, which means the CSRF token from Tab B fails.
Would it not be better to not delete the anomyous session when one logs in, or upgrade the session (instead of deleting it)?
