Log out of all devices at once from your computer or phone
Facebook lets you end every active session across all your devices in one action. This is the fastest way to sign out everywhere — you do not have to find and log out of each device individually. The setting is called "Where You're Logged In" and takes about 30 seconds to use.
On a computer, go to facebook.com and click the downward arrow in the top right corner. Select Settings and Privacy, then Settings. On the left side, click Security and Login. Scroll down until you see the section labeled Where You're Logged In. You will see a list of all devices currently signed into your account.
On your phone or tablet, open the Facebook app and tap the three horizontal lines (the menu) in the bottom right corner. Scroll down and tap Settings and Privacy, then Settings. Tap Security and Login, then scroll to Where You're Logged In. The process is the same from here.
Key Takeaways
- You can log out of all devices at once using the "Where You're Logged In" section in your Security and Login settings.
- Facebook shows you the device name, location, and last active time for each session so you can spot unfamiliar logins.
- Logging out everywhere will sign you out on your phone, computer, tablet, and any other device you use Facebook on.
- After you log out of all devices, you will need to sign back in on at least one device to use Facebook again.
Find the complete list of active sessions
Before you log out everywhere, it helps to see what is actually signed in. The "Where You're Logged In" section shows every active session with useful details. Each entry displays the device type (like "Chrome on Windows" or "iPhone"), the approximate location based on your IP address, and when you last used that session.
Look through this list carefully. You should recognize most of the devices — your phone, your laptop, maybe a tablet. If you see a device you do not own or a location you have never been, that is a sign someone else may have access to your account. Logging out everywhere will end that unauthorized session immediately.
Facebook also shows you a timestamp for each device. If a device shows "Active now" or a recent time, that session is currently in use. If a device shows a date from months ago, that session may have been idle but is still technically logged in.
Log out of all devices in one step
Once you have reviewed the list and confirmed you want to sign out everywhere, the actual logout is simple. Look for a button or link that says Log Out of All Sessions, Log Out Everywhere, or Log Out of All Other Sessions — the exact wording varies depending on whether you are on a computer or phone, and which version of Facebook you are using.
Click or tap that button. Facebook will ask you to confirm. Select yes or confirm. Within seconds, every device will be signed out. You will be returned to the Facebook login page on whatever device you used to make the change.
This action is immediate and affects all devices at the same time. You do not need to wait for anything to process. If you were signed in on five devices, all five will be logged out right away.
Sign back in on your devices
After you log out everywhere, you will need to sign back in on at least one device to use Facebook again. Start with the device you use most often — usually your phone or computer. Go to facebook.com or open the Facebook app and enter your email address (or phone number) and password.
Facebook may ask you to verify your identity before letting you back in. This is a security step. You might see a code sent to your email or phone number, or Facebook might ask you to identify photos of your friends. Complete whichever verification method appears.
Once you are signed back in on one device, you can choose to stay signed in on that device or sign in on other devices as well. You do not have to sign in everywhere at once — you can do it one device at a time as you need to use Facebook on each one.
When to log out of all devices
Log out everywhere if you think someone else has access to your account. This might happen if you used Facebook on a public computer, shared your password with someone, or suspect your account was hacked. Logging out everywhere closes every door at once, even if you do not know which device the unauthorized person is using.
You might also log out everywhere if you are selling or giving away a device. Before you hand over a phone or computer, sign out of all sessions to make sure the new owner cannot access your Facebook account. Then you can sign back in on your own devices.
Some people log out everywhere as a regular security habit, especially if they have not checked their active sessions in a while. There is no downside to doing this — it just means you will need to sign back in on your devices, which takes less than a minute.
Check for suspicious activity after logging out
After you log out everywhere and sign back in, take a moment to check if anything looks wrong. Go back to Security and Login and look at your login history. This shows every time someone signed into your account, including failed attempts. If you see logins from places you have never been or at times you were asleep, that is a sign your account was compromised.
You can also check your connected apps and websites. In Settings, look for Apps and Websites or Connected Apps. This section shows every app or service that has permission to access your Facebook account. Remove any app you do not recognize or no longer use.
If you found suspicious activity, consider changing your Facebook password to something new and strong. A strong password has at least 12 characters and mixes uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using the same password on other websites.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will logging out everywhere sign me out on my phone too?
Yes. Logging out of all devices signs you out on every device — phone, tablet, computer, and any other device where you were signed in. You will need to sign back in on your phone if you want to use the Facebook app again.
What if I cannot find the "Where You're Logged In" section?
Make sure you are in Settings and looking for Security and Login. The exact location varies slightly between the Facebook website and the app, and between different versions. If you still cannot find it, try searching within Settings for the word "sessions" or "devices" — Facebook's search function will take you to the right place.
Can I log out of just one device instead of all of them?
Yes. In the "Where You're Logged In" section, you can click or tap on any individual device and select "Log Out" to sign out just that one. You do not have to log out everywhere if you only want to remove one device.
How long does it take for all devices to log out?
It is instant. All devices are signed out immediately when you confirm the action. You do not need to wait or refresh anything — the logout happens right away on every device.
What happens to my messages and photos after I log out everywhere?
Nothing. Logging out only ends your sessions — it does not delete your messages, photos, or any other data. Everything stays on your account. When you sign back in, you will see everything exactly as you left it.
