väljalogimised

Väljalogimised, in Estonian, refers to the act of logging out from a digital service or system. This is a common security and privacy measure used across various online platforms, applications, and devices. When a user logs out, their active session with the service is terminated, preventing unauthorized access to their account.

The process of logging out typically involves clicking a designated "logout" or "sign out" button, usually found within the user's profile settings or a navigation menu. Upon initiating the logout, the system invalidates the user's authentication credentials, such as session cookies or tokens, thereby severing the connection. This action ensures that the account is no longer accessible from that particular device or browser without re-authentication.

Logging out is particularly important when using shared or public computers to safeguard personal information. It also serves as a good practice for personal devices, especially when switching between different user accounts or when the device is not in immediate use. While many systems automatically log users out after a period of inactivity to enhance security, manual logout provides a definitive way to end a session. The opposite of väljalogimine is sisselogimine, which means logging in.
