As most of us, we have changed our password during the log-in process. We also
appreciate the email sent when a "new" device logs in.

However, I believe BL would need to take a look at how the site remembers a previously-authenticated
browser. After changing the password o on our account from my laptop, I refreshed
the BL page on my tablet, and it authenticated without asking for our new password.
I have to assume this is because of some cookies stored on my tablet.

Changing an account's password does not invalidate sessions which were authenticated
with the old password. It would be good to put in some logic that would kick
off these "old" sessions.

Same here, but isn't that just the browser (Chrome in my case) that stores
the password and makes it available on all devices running the same browser (with
the same account).
