bw: Log out of a Bitwarden user account.
$ bw logout
try on your machine

The command "bw logout" is typically used to log out or sign out from the Bitwarden command-line interface (CLI) or from the Bitwarden vault in general. Bitwarden is a password management system that stores and protects user passwords and sensitive information.

When you execute the "bw logout" command, it will revoke your current session token, which essentially means that you are no longer authenticated or logged in. This command ensures that your Bitwarden vault is secure and protects your passwords and other credentials.

Logging out is important to prevent unauthorized access to your Bitwarden account in case you are using a shared or public computer, or if you no longer require access to your vault. It is always good practice to log out after using any secure application or service to maintain data privacy and security.
