Why you should log out of websites and apps when you’re finished
Leaving websites and apps signed in may be convenient, but it can make it easier for someone else to access your accounts if they use your device or connect through an unsafe network. Logging out when you are finished is a simple step that helps protect your personal information and reduces the chance of account misuse.
Who is at risk
People who use shared computers, public devices, public Wi-Fi, or let others borrow their phone, tablet, or laptop are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for accounts that are still signed in on devices you no longer use, unfamiliar activity in your accounts, or saved logins on shared or public computers.
What to do
Log out of websites and apps when you are done, especially on shared devices or public networks, and review your important accounts to sign out of any sessions you do not recognize.
