Logging users out

To log a user out, use the logout method from the usePrivy hook:

const {logout} = usePrivy();

Below is an example of a sample logout button for your app:

import {usePrivy} from '@privy-io/react-auth';

function LogoutButton() {
  const {ready, authenticated, logout} = usePrivy();
  // Disable logout when Privy is not ready or the user is not authenticated
  const disableLogout = !ready || (ready && !authenticated);

  return (
    <button disabled={disableLogout} onClick={logout}>
      Log out
    </button>
  );
}

TIP

You can easily attach callbacks to logout using the new useLogout interface! Read more here.

INFO

If a user has connected a wallet to your site, **logging the user out will not disconnect their wallet.**Similarly, if a user disconnects their wallet from your site manually, Privy will not automatically log the user out.

For injected wallets (browser extensions), users can only disconnect their wallet from your site through their wallet. For other wallets (e.g. WalletConnect, the Coinbase Smart Wallet), your app can programmatically disconnect a user's wallet by calling the disconnect method on the wallet's ConnectedWallet object.
