Facebook is one of those social media platforms that has been around for a long time and you probably have your friends and extended family on there, so you would probably not want a breach that would expose yours or their info.
Even if you are a new user, it is imperative that only you or those that have your permission have access to your Facebook account to prevent it from being used for fraudulent purposes or from private information being leaked. One of the ways to do that is by making sure you are logged out on devices that you are not supposed to be logged in on.
Even if you forget to log out of a device when you are done using it, you can log out of any device remotely later from any device. This helps you restrict access to your account and keep it safe from intruders. That being said, here is how to remotely log out of your Facebook account on any device.
