Logoutlogin

Logoutlogin refers to the process of a user ending their current authenticated session with a system or application and then initiating a new session, often with the same or different credentials. This typically involves two distinct steps. The first step, logout, is the action of severing the connection between the user's client and the server's authenticated state. This often invalidates session tokens or cookies that identify the logged-in user. The second step, login, is the subsequent authentication process where the user provides their credentials, such as a username and password or a token, to establish a new authenticated session. This sequence is commonly used to refresh session data, switch user accounts, or ensure security by periodically terminating active sessions. For example, after logging out of a web application, a user must log back in to regain access. In some contexts, the term might also describe a seamless process where the system automatically logs a user out due to inactivity and then prompts them to log back in. The primary purposes of logoutlogin are to manage user access, enhance security, and allow for account changes.
