Security of Autodesk Account

Security of Autodesk Account

So say your account has been compromised or you suspect it has been compromised and other people other than you has your password in hand. They may silently keep track of your account, steal your design ideas and may sell it before you take it to market. With the rise of highly sophisticated attacks like phishing, this is very much possible. The thing is after you changed your password, your desktop software is still logged in. If the perpetrator signed into your account using a desktop application (before you suspect something is wrong and change your password), he/she will still be logged in even after you have successfully changed your password. This means they can continue to carry out their illegal activities and siphon what may be your original design. Therefore, I hope that Autodesk can implement the feature of being able to log out of all the accounts once you have changed your password simply because those accounts that have previously been signed in, their password is not correct anymore and needs to be updated. Actually, many of my other products like Microsoft Office 365 prompts for password again after I changed it which I feel is the way to go.

Security for software that has billions of dollars of design and blueprints for products not released yet is paramount, 2 factor would also be appreciated.
