022 * Thrown when an authentication attempt has been received for an account that has already been
023 * authenticated (i.e. logged-in), and the system is configured to prevent such concurrent access.
024 *
025 * <p>This is useful when an application must ensure that only one person is logged-in to a single
026 * account at any given time.
027 *
028 * <p>Sometimes account names and passwords are lazily given away
029 * to many people for easy access to a system. Such behavior is undesirable in systems where
030 * users are accountable for their actions, such as in government applications, or when licensing
031 * agreements must be maintained, such as those which only allow 1 user per paid license.
032 *
033 * <p>By disallowing concurrent access, such systems can ensure that each authenticated session
034 * corresponds to one and only one user at any given time.
