Stay tuned for more updates from our team and Pinterest Engineering!ĭid you have a direct experience, on Pinterest or elsewhere, with revoking unknown or undesired sessions? If so, we’d like to hear from you. With the email notification on new login and the ability to view and revoke active sessions, security makes its first appearance in the Pinterest app and we couldn’t be more excited.

If so, the job sends an email to the owner of the account.

On execution, the job retrieves a list of all sessions and evaluates if the login event is from a new device or IP address. Email notificationĪt every login (a few million per day), the API dispatches an async job to our PinLater service (which is open sourced). The new functionality of retrieving and revoking active sessions was added via API calls which connect directly to Session Manager’s endpoints. Session manager has always had the ability to revoke sessions, but this is the first case where we allow Pinners to use it. It’s a Java service accessed by the API through a Thrift interface to validate the session of every request (150k+ per second). You may be able to contact Pinterest and appeal this decision to restore access to your account.At the core of both features is Session Manager, which is responsible for storing and validating user sessions. If Pinterest believes you violated the service's community guidelines, you may be logged out and your account may be temporarily or permanently suspended. To log back in, follow the instructions to reset your password. If Pinterest notices unusual activity on your account, the service may log all devices out of the account and send you an email to reset your password.
