HI folks,

I've managed to create a plugin using JSON / Python, with a login function as well. Working great, however, there's no validation apart from checking user / pass in the DB, meaning the same credentials could work on an unlimited number of devices! I want it to be one login, one device... but i have no idea how to go about doing that, been trying sessions, cookies, no luck. If there was a way to know when the plugin is launched for the first, to send a unique value to the DB that identifies that device, that'd be great, but I don't think there is. What are your thoughts?

Generate UUID, store it locally and register it in your DB along with login/pass. Then you can verify if a locally stored UUID matches the UUID in your DB. Of course, someone too clever can re-use a locally stored UUID but you can't get absolute protection from people with minimal Python knowledge anyway without going into murky waters of binary Python modules.
