1) Flask-Login will mark a user as logged out when it detects that an existing session suddenly appears to come from a different originating IP address or a different browser. But it is unfortunate that Flask-Login does not enable this option by default.
That's just a config change though, to use strong protection instead of basic.
Yes we can set it to "strong" but then user won't be able to use "Remember me" functionality as it won't support it with "strong" protection.
2) It does not support it at all if you want to also use the browsers "remember me" functionality.
The *browsers* remember me functionality, or Flasks? AFAIK remember me in the browser is just auto-filling of the username/password anyway, which will only happen when creating a new session right?
Browsers.
It's just a small wrapper module to overcome above scenarios, It is not most necessary thing to include in our project but it will improve the session security.

Tested it with PEM7 RestApi testsuite and it is working fine :)
The docs for this module say it's based on Flask-Login's session protect mechanism, and was intended to allow session protection in other scenarios. As we are already using Flask-Login, do we need this?
