Is it time to revisit this behaviour? It's come up as being a usability problem a few times now.
Currently if I log out of a public computer it logs me out of my tablet device,mobile device and home computer. :(
See bug for reference [1]
Yes, this is terrible UX. Logging out or in should only apply to one device.
Or alternately have a "log out on this device/log out everywhere" option.
Aye, they should be separated. The need to log out everywhere is a special case, but a potentially important one, as there are instances when users will want to forcibly log out devices they may not have direct access to (usually specifically because they don't have direct access to them). It's the sort of thing we'd want to have a special page/action for, but one that's not necessarily prominent - while the normal logout would be on every page, this would only be linked from the preferences, or something.
