Staying signed in and logging out

On your own computer, you don't want to log in again every time. On someone else's computer, you want to make sure you log out properly. Here's how to do both.

Remember username and Stay signed in

• Remember username (1): next time, your email address is already filled in. You only need to type your password.
• Stay signed in (2): you stay logged in for 30 days, even if you close the browser. This is also shown below the option when you tick it.

Please note: only use Stay signed in on your own device. Anyone who opens that browser afterwards can read and send your email.

Logging out

Click Logout (1) at the bottom left of the menu. Always do this on a computer that isn't yours, even if you close the browser afterwards.

On a shared computer

• Untick Remember username and Stay signed in.
• Don't let the browser save your password.
• Log out when you're done and close the browser.

Tip: want to secure your mailbox even better? Turn on two-step verification. Then someone who only has your password still can't get in. See Turning on two-factor authentication.
