Title: Logout when browser closes Last modified: February 2, 2018 --- # Logout when browser closes * [Phil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magicfilou/) * (@magicfilou) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logout-when-browser-closes-2/) * Hi! * Same topic already exist [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/frontend-and-membership-site/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/frontend-and-membership-site/) but comments are close, I would like to know if this feature works fine now ? * E.g: Time is fixed to 15 minutes. User stay inactive during 2 min and close his browser, when he come back like 2 hours after he need to logged in again, OK * But if the user come back like 8 minutes laters he will be still connected or does he need to logged in again ? * Thanks Phil Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logout-when-browser-closes-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logout-when-browser-closes-2/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Deepen Bajracharya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/j_3rk/) * (@j_3rk) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logout-when-browser-closes-2/#post-9935942) * Hi Phil, * Sorry for late response .. personal problems at the moment. * This feature was added before but caused problems so it needed alot of testing from my side so i had to remove it and is not added till the latest version. I will add this in the future but not at the moment. * What i mean is that if user closes the browser then inactive logout does not automatically logout user. This plugin currently only works when the browser is active and unclosed (tab). * Hope this clears your thoughts. Lemme knw if you have more questions. Thanks. * Thread Starter [Phil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/magicfilou/) * (@magicfilou) * [8 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logout-when-browser-closes-2/#post-10021776) * Hi 🙂 * Ok, please let me know here when this feature will be back again, for now your good plugin is useless for me :-/ TIA Cheers and keep the good work! * [colbyalbo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colbyalbo/) * (@colbyalbo) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logout-when-browser-closes-2/#post-10124909) * Following this thread.

Curious if there is a way to kill the session as soon as the browser is closed instead of having to wait 1 minute? This is something that I need for security for multiple users on one computer. * Other than this, the plugin is exactly what I was looking for! * Johnny Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logout-when-browser-closes-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logout-when-browser-closes-2/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Logout when browser closes’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/inactive-logout/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3133765) * [Inactive Logout](https://wordpress.org/plugins/inactive-logout/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/inactive-logout/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/inactive-logout/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/inactive-logout/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/inactive-logout/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/inactive-logout/reviews/) * 17 replies * 7 participants * Last reply from: [nathanrbiz25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nathanrbiz25/) * Last activity: [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/logout-when-browser-closes-2/page/2/#post-11236394) * Status: not resolved
