You may want to clear a session if your users log into the same site on the same browser

When Would You Clear a WebChat Session?
It is not necessary to clear user sessions unless your specific use case benefits from it. You may want to clear your users' session if you have a website or app where different users could log into the same site on the same browsers. For example, logging into a banking website to check a balance.
What Does Clearing a Session Do?
Clearing a session will clear all related cookies from the previous user's session. This means that the next person that logs in will have a fresh session and will have to reauthenticate (either manually or via SSO, depending on your configuration).
This will ensure that users don't accidentally log into a session of a different user.
Method to Clear a Session
The clear() method removes all stored user data and resets the WebConnect instance.
To use this, you can call:
WebConnect.clear()
You'll likely want to call this when a user logs out to ensure the session remains active while the user is still logged in.
