Devise logging out automatically after password change

Question

In Devise, if I change user\'s password and after it gets updated in the db, the site immediately logs out the user. I don\'t want this behavior - how do i do that. please h

Answer 1

I had the same problem and the following code seems to work for me.

Assume that the passwords controller is set for a singleton route. Also, assume that the authenticated model is an Account. With that, you have the following:

def update
  if current_account.update_with_password(params[:account])
    sign_in(current_account, :bypass => true)
    flash[:notice] = 'Password updated.'
    redirect_to account_path
  else
    render :action => :show
  end
end

The key ingredient is the sign_in method call which seeks to re-sign-in the account, but bypasses the warden callbacks and stores the account into the session.

Answer 2

Use the registerable module, which will give you both sign up and edit user features

Answer 3

Please refer to this answer here, I tried all the above answers. It din't work for not adding the scope. https://stackoverflow.com/a/30418266/4973585

This doesn't work - sign_in @user, bypass: true

This works - sign_in :user, @user, bypass: true

Answer 4

You can simply set sign_in_after_reset_password in your devise.rb

config.sign_in_after_reset_password = true

Answer 5

Use this code to avoid sign out.

sign_in(current_user, :bypass => true)

Answer 6

For some reasons, current_user is not equal to @user although current_user.id is equal to @user.id. So I have to use sign_in(@user, :bypass => true).
