The action of remotely terminating active sessions on all devices where a user is logged into the video-sharing platform ensures account security. This process effectively logs the user out of the platform on smartphones, tablets, computers, smart TVs, and any other device where the account is actively signed in. As an example, if a user suspects their account has been compromised or if they have forgotten to log out on a public computer, initiating this function will prevent unauthorized access.
This measure offers a significant enhancement to account security and privacy. It mitigates the risk of unauthorized viewing, commenting, or other activity on the user’s account. Historically, managing individual device logouts could be cumbersome; this centralized control feature streamlines the process and provides peace of mind, especially in situations where device access is uncertain.
