Should I sign out after each session on Bitdefender Central?

Mom2Mike

Newbie here. Should I sign out after each session on the Bitdefender Central dashboard? Do you recommend a sign-in and sign-out each time I access it?

Hi @Mom2Mike

If you're on your own home network, and no one else has access to your device, then you could stay signed in as to not have to re-sign again if you know you'll be back soon.

If you're in an environment where your device is shared by other family members and they are not using a Guest Account (Windows) then yes, I would log out just to keep your Central account safe. If you're on a mobile device, I would sign out when done, again, just for security's sake. This one one of the reasons paranoid Scott doesn't install the Central app on my phone, but then I am single, and am not monitoring other users on my account.

Maybe another member will chime in with their thoughts, too :)

I appreciate your "hand-holding" and reassuring me that it's actually pretty smart to log-out after each session. My MacBook Air is really only used by me, but I did feel uneasy about leaving it "open" all the time. Haven't installed BD on our other devices yet - taking things a step at a time, but will keep your advice in mind about them. Thank you very much.

You're welcome @Mom2Mike it was a good security (peace of mind) question asked :)
