    Hi all,

    I’am currently trying to figure out where the WP_session_tokens are saved. I could not find any information out here whether they are stored in the memory or the file-system or the database or even something completely else.
    And once you found them can you change where they are stored?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The WP_Session_Token is an abstract class. It doesn’t do anything on its own. It must be extended and certain methods need to be defined. These are in part the methods to create, change, and destroy tokens, so the answer you seek would depend on what code is extending the class. A couple likely places are either the PHP session variables (stored in cookies) or WP transients (stored in DB options).
