We have to sign-out or log-out especially when we are at cafe's . Because when you didn't sign-out or log-out their are some people who can hock your account and they might use your account and is you have listed friends on your messenger they will going to cheat on that person.

It is alwayz good to sign-out or log-out from a system especially when you are using a public system.Ex: If suppose someone has taken your debit card and he/she also knows your pin code then he/she can easily use your card to get money from your account.Similarly when you don't sign-out from a public system as the system at cafe ,anybody can access that system and can steal valuable information regarding you and might use it against you.So next time better be careful and sign-out if using a public system

Its for your account security resion. If you went with out sign out of your account in cafe you have lost your immportent information in your account. Because pepole has don't know whos document immportent for you. If your didn't sign out of account in cafe then pepole was thife your account information for just fun. so dear its too immportent thing when you gone cafe.

Every user of a website is given with a user ID and a password. That user ID is an alis for the person while, the password is to check or make sure if its the real person who is using the website. Whenevr we visit the website, we login to see or use our account. But after finishing off with the work, one needs to sign out or log out specially when he uses internet in some cafe. Signing out or Logging out makes it sure that nobody uses your account after you leave. In simple words, its like our personal locker at school. We open it with our code (login) and lock it up (sign out) after the use so that no other person uses it and causes any havoc to us!

Every user needs to sign in and sign out for your internet account to check ypur authenticity, because any one can guess or know your account id and can play foul means with it or can misuse your account putting you in trouble so to avoid such difficulty it is better to have some mechanism to keep such user away from your account . specially at cafe's and other public internet accesss such as public library and labs it more possible so this method is used. When you sign out it makes your account inaccessible and thus keeping you away from trouble. it is therefore said to keep the password secret. although there are several means to verify user as alphanumeric password, fingerprint, face recognition but for online account password is used because the computers at cafes may not have finger priny reader or face recognition hardware and software and hence password is used for user verification and safe transaction

sign out is must because if you dont sign out then people may look into your account and may take out every confidential report about you very easily..so its very very important to sign out especially if you are using your account from a cyber cafe or anywhere outside your home.....
