Practice Secure Logout Habits

Remember

Make it a habit to log out of websites and applications when you’ve finished using them, particularly on shared or public computers. On personal devices, still consider logging out of sensitive accounts if the device might be accessed by others. Also, lock your screen when stepping away from your devices.

Why

Active sessions can be exploited if a device is lost, stolen, or accessed by an unauthorized person. Logging out terminates these sessions, adding a critical layer of security, especially for sensitive accounts like email, banking, and social media.
