Logging In - The process of entering your username and password to gain access to the network, a website, program, etc.

Logging Out - This is an option that will allow you to close your access without restarting your computer. When you click the start button there are two options: shutdown and logout. Sometimes logging out of your computer is quicker if someone else is going to get back on it and it hasn’t had any problems.
