Log Out
Whether you are using a public
computer or not, it is always a good idea to log out when you
are finished at a website that requires a username and password.
Don’t just close the browser, or go to another website, because
you will probably still be logged in to your account at the site
that you just left. Instead, click the logout link, and make
sure that your login information is not saved on the login page.
If you fail to log out completely,
someone can sit down at the computer as soon as you get up, go
to history, go to the site where you just were, and see all of
your information – simply because you didn’t log out, and you
didn’t erase your history.
