## pw auth logout

Sign this computer out

### Synopsis

**pw auth logout** signs the current context out, or the named one, and removes it from the
credentials file. A context created with **pw auth login** is first signed out on the
platform, so its tokens stop working at once and it leaves **Settings** > **Connected apps**.

A context that uses an API key is only removed from this computer; delete the key itself
under **Settings** > **Authentication**.

```
pw auth logout [context-name] [flags]
```

### Examples

```
  # Sign out of the current context
  pw auth logout
  
  # Sign out of a named context
  pw auth logout ada@cloud.parallel.works
```

### Options

```
  -h, --help   help for logout
```

### Options inherited from parent commands
