How Pro YouTubers Do It
Sign Out After Every Public Session
Pro creators always sign out when using OutlierKit on any computer that isn't their personal device, including coworking spaces and coffee shops.
Use Browser Incognito for Shared Computers
When researching on shared devices, use incognito/private mode combined with signing out—this ensures no trace of your session remains.
Regular Security Audits
Check your Account Settings monthly to review active sessions and sign out of any devices you no longer use or don't recognize.
Sign Out Before Travel
Before traveling, sign out of all devices from Account Settings. This protects your research even if a device is lost or stolen.
Real-World Examples
Creator finished research at a coworking space
Clicked Sign Out in the sidebar before closing the browser and leaving
Research and competitive intelligence stayed private—next person at the workstation couldn't access their account
YouTuber noticed unfamiliar login location in Account Settings
Used 'Sign out all devices' feature and then changed their password
Secured their account immediately and prevented any potential unauthorized access to their research
Common Mistakes to Avoid

Do this instead: Always click Sign Out before closing the browser, especially on shared or public devices.
Why it hurts: You might have old sessions active on devices you no longer use, creating potential security vulnerabilities.
Do this instead: Periodically check Account Settings to review and manage your active sessions across all devices.
Why it hurts: This keeps you logged in even after closing the browser, making it easy for the next user to access your account.
Do this instead: Never use 'Remember Me' or stay signed in on any device you don't personally own and control.
