If you log on with MitID using a computer with shared access, it is really important that you remember to log out before you leave the device.
If you don’t log out, you risk that the next person using the device will have access to your personal information.
Internet browsers remember you
Internet browsers like Firefox, Safari and Chrome attempt to make it as easy for you to have or get access to the internet as possible. This is why the browsers will remember you even, f you close a tab or a window.
Some browsers are configured to remain logged on despite closing all windows. This means that you remain logged on unless you have chosen actively to log out from the browser.
Log out completely
It is not until you select ”Log out” and close your browser that way, you can be absolutely certain that no one else will be able to access your personal data.

Make it a habit to complete the following steps:
- Find your name in the upper right corner of the screen
- Click on the little arrow next to your name
- A menu opens. In the menu select Log Out.
