logoff
End your session
Logoff is the act of ending a session on a computer or online service, the opposite of logging in.
Also spelled log off (two words) or log-off (hyphenated).
The term dates to early computing when users shared mainframes and needed to formally terminate their sessions: Don't forget to logoff when you're done.
Logout means the same thing.
