Log-off

Meaning – The term log-off, alternatively referred to as log, log off, and sign out, sign off disconnecting from a network or account voluntarily. For example, to check your credit card balance, you log into your account. When you are done reviewing the information, you log out, which is the same as signing off.

Computers and online services do not know who is sitting at your computer. If the service does not log you off automatically, you remain online.

The steps to log off vary depending on the program or service you’re using. For many online services, you’ll find an option to log off in the user menu or at the bottom of the page.

Example of usage“When spelled as one word, “logout” and “log-out” is a noun or adjective that describes the components required to sign out of an account.”
