    Description

      Regarding the authentication cache:
      Use case (provided Sergiu):

      • Ana Blandiana has password P1
      • Black Hat steals Ana's password and logs in the wiki, and starts messing things
      • John Root sees this and tells Ana to change her password immediately
      • Ana changes her password to P2, but Black Hat can continue to make changes, since the password is not checked again

      Solution 1: have an event launched when the password is changed so that the user logged with that specific account needs to re-login.

      Solution 2: Don't log out the user. Just provide the notification change message and as a security method sent a notification message that the password has changed to the user's provided e-mail (that if the e-mail wasn't changed too)
