Logoff

An option to leave the online application could potentially be provided from any page in the online application. Clicking the Logout hyperlink is a signal from the users that they intend to leave the system and that any sensitive information managed by the user interface should now be cleared.

A typical self-service, online application user interface might perform the following actions:

• Present a Logout hyperlink that the user can click to log out of the online application.

• Clear the username and password combination from the local user interface temporary storage area.

• Present the user with a logged off confirmation page.
