Logging out of HN logs you out of every device. I figure they hold some session data server-side that is deleted, so your other sessions are invalidated.
Not sure why this is a worth a post; who cares in the grand, medium and small scale of things.
I didn’t know that, thanks for letting me know. I don’t think I logged out, unless maybe I accidentally triggered that in my pocket.
I figured it was worth posting because I get relatively uneasy when unexpected things happen, and if others were also affected then I could just justify it to myself as a server side thing. In fact, what you just told me about logout being global is already very helpful, so I guess it wasn’t for naught. :)
