How to Log Out

Logging out of a website or application will end your current session, and can also help prevent other users from accessing your account and personal information after you step away from your computer. The “log out” or “sign out” option is usually displayed prominently at the top of most Web sessions for that particular service or application. If you can’t find it, try pressing the keys “control” and “F” on your keyboard and searching for “log out” or “sign out.”
