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

The example above did not work for me using multiple scopes in Devise.

I had to add the scope/resource name in the sign_in path for it to work, and to prevent chaos I also had to sign out the old user or else all kinds of confusion would abound.

The changes I had to make would look something like this using the above example.

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

Edit to add: I believe I had to forcibly sign out the user because somewhere I overrode Devise's code in order not to have users sign out during certain actions. In hindsight; not a good idea! This approach is much better! Being that it is safer to make your own Controllers versus overriding Devise's code unless it's absolutely unavoidable.

Answer 2

Update to Bill Eisenhauer answer above-

sign_in(current_account, :bypass => true) has been deprecated use bypass_sign_in current_account instead

Answer 3

Add the following piece of code to your method in which you are updating the user's password, right after updating the user's password in the database:

def update
 . . . . .<your code>
 . . . . .<your code>

 sign_in(@user, :bypass => true)

 . . . . .<your code>
 . . . . .<your code>
end
