Abstract: Methods and systems for unique session number sharing to ensure traceability are discussed herein. According to an implementation, a user sends a request to login a browser from a user equipment to a server device. The server device validates a user credential associated with the browser by comparing the user credential with pre-stored user registration information. Once the user credential is validated, the server device generates a session with a unique session number (USN) with respect to the request. The server device generates a plurality of logs with respect to the activities occurred during the session and associates the USN with each of the multiple logs. The USN is further included in an access token that authorizes the user to access the websites hosted by the browser.
