How to log out of Twitter to protect your account's security

• You can easily log out of Twitter on your computer or mobile device.
• On the Twitter website, you can log out from the three-dot menu in the bottom-left corner of the homepage.

If you have a Twitter account, chances are you log in on a daily basis - or maybe even multiple times a day - to scroll through your timeline.

If you use Twitter on your phone or personal computer, you may like the idea of staying logged in at all times. However, there may be times when you need to log out of your Twitter account, like if you've logged in on a public computer or on someone else's phone.
