Know what signing out does
Sign out on a borrowed computer, sure that nothing of yours is deleted.
Signing out tells one device to forget you. Your account, messages and orders stay exactly where they were.
It matters most on a machine you do not own: a library computer or a relative’s tablet.
Key points
- Signing out makes one device forget you and deletes nothing
- Closing the window is not the same, and leaves you signed in
What to remember
- Signing out is the last thing to do before you stand up.
- Signing out forgets the device. It never touches the account.
