I'm working on a Node-RED application, and I'm encountering an issue with session handling when opening a new tab in the same browser.

**Here's what's happening:**

I log in to [http://localhost:1880/api/login](http://localhost:1880/api/login) in one tab, which successfully creates a session and sets a session cookie.

When I open a new tab and navigate to [http://localhost:1880/api/login](http://localhost:1880/api/login), it shows the login page again instead of redirecting to the dashboard or maintaining the session.

If I log in again from the new tab, it creates a new session. This new session overrides the session cookie in the browser, even though the database has multiple sessions for the same user.
