1. You can force a new valid login to log-out any previous or current logins of the same user account.

Oops. My browser window crashed. How can I go logout that session? Update: I misread that somehow. At least twice. Yes, you can do that. My apologies.

2. You can track the IP address (or some other machine identifier)

Ooops. My IP changes because my company uses a cluster of proxies... (What other machine identifier did you have in mind?)

3. There are always cookies. I personally do not like cookies for session management, I think they are clunky myself.

I assumed the OP was using cookies. This point doesn't really address his problem. By the way, if you are going to avoid cookies for session management, what alternative would you suggest is less clunky and why is it less clunky?
