If you have ever accidentally left your Facebook page logged-in at a public place like a library or campus center, you probably know the possible consequences. Unless you are lucky, you will find something along the lines of embarrassing photos, profile changes and status updates. Whether or not Facebook keeps you logged in after closing a browser depends on your Facebook and browser settings. Avoid the hassle by remembering to log out every time. Additionally, if you forget to log out from a computer, you can remotely do so. Sign in to your account, click the gear in the right corner, choose “Privacy Settings” and then “Security” from the left sidebar. Click on “Active Sessions,” look for any devices that aren’t yours, and click “End Activity” to log these out. Some browsers also have add-ons that enable you to automatically log out when you close the window or are inactive a certain amount of time. These require downloading, however, so they are not a good choice for public computer use. Writer Bio
