Sign out of one community, of everything, or of other devices, and know which is which.

Sign out of one community

Open the avatar menu in the corner of any community site and select Log out. That signs you out of that community site and leaves everything else alone. The other communities you belong to stay open, and your Lockers account stays signed in on that browser.

When you come back, selecting Sign in on that same community sends you to lockers.social and returns you to the page with no password to type, because your account is still signed in on that browser. If you want the password prompt back, sign out of the account itself.

Sign out of your Lockers account

On lockers.social, open the account menu in the top bar and select Log out. The Sign out button on the Account security page does the same. Signing out of your account also ends the communities you entered from that sign-in, so those sites sign you out at the same time. The next time you open any of them, you sign in on lockers.social again with your password or with Google.

This is the one to use on a shared or borrowed computer. Logging out of the single community you were reading leaves your account signed in on that browser, so the next person to use that computer can open the rest of your communities without a password.

Sign out a browser or device you no longer have

A lost phone or an old work laptop stays signed in until you sign it out. You can sign it out from the browser you are using now.

  1. Open Account security

    Open the avatar menu on your community site and select Account security.

  2. Go to lockers.social

    Under Account changes on lockers.social, select Sign out other sessions.

  3. Confirm your identity

    Confirm your identity on lockers.social with your authenticator code, or select Use a recovery code.

  4. Sign the others out

    Select Sign out other sessions.

Signing out clears your identity confirmation

When you confirm your identity with an authenticator, Lockers remembers that confirmation for up to 7 days in that signed-in browser. Signing out ends it early. After you sign back in, protected changes such as appearance or your custom domain ask you to confirm again before they save. Replacing your authenticator clears the confirmation the same way. See Set up an authenticator and confirm your identity.

Getting back in

Open the community's address and select Sign in. If your account is still signed in on that browser, you pass through lockers.social and come straight back, and the page shows Signing you in while it returns you. If you signed out of your account, you sign in on lockers.social first and return to the page you started from. See Sign in to a community.
