I enabled user authentication on Node Red. but when I restart the service the user is still logged in

I have done some searches. there is some suggestions around changing the machine key every time the service restarts.

does anyone have any suggestions about what exactly should I do ?

As mentioned in the docs on securing Node-RED the authentication tokens generated last for 7 days.

You can change this by editing the settings.js file

The expiration time can be customised by setting the sessionExpiryTime property of the adminAuth setting. This defines, in seconds, how long a token is valid for. For example, to set the tokens to expire after 1 day:

adminAuth: {
    sessionExpiryTime: 86400,
    ...
}

EDIT:

The session tokens on the backend are (when using the default storage plugin) stored in a file called .sessions.json in the userDir (as logged on startup). If you want to log out all users on a restart then you will need to delete this file before starting Node-RED.
