Technical details and impact analysis
## Summary:
WordPress has a function called "2fa". I have found a bug in this function. As a result of this bug, every site that uses the 2fa function in WordPress is affected.
## Steps To Reproduce:
1/ Access the same account on example.com in two devices
2/ On device 'A' go to example.com> complete all steps to activate the 2FA system
Now the 2FA is activated for this account
3/ Back to device 'B' reload the page
The session still active

## Impact
In this scenario when 2FA is activated the other sessions of the account are not invalidated.
2FA is required to login. I believe the expected and recommended behavior here is to terminate the other sessions> request a new login> request the 2FA code> so then give the account access again
