NoSession
by pandaninjas
NoSession is a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.8.9 that guards the session ID used to log in to Minecraft.
What it does
The mod protects the session token that Minecraft uses to authenticate, and it only shields other mods from having that token read. Because the session ID is the key to a player's account, fake verification sites that ask for it are the main risk it addresses. Installation is needed on the client only, and the mod is available for Forge 1.8.9 as file v1.2.2, dated 2023-12-25.
NoSession is released under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Its author signs the binary with a GPG key, so the file can be checked against that signature before it is installed.
Key features
Session ID protection
Other mods are kept from reading the session ID that Minecraft uses to sign a player in.
Login method breakage
The mod can break older token login methods, since it limits how the session token is passed on.
Signed binary
The author signs the NoSession binary with a GPG key, so the file can be verified before it is installed.

What the author says
This only protects you from other mods. There are fake verification sites that can steal your session ID through that method. Don't login with Microsoft OAuth to anything except maybe your Minecraft launcher. You may also want to verify the signature on any NoSession binary. It's signed with pandaninjas' GPG key.
