Command: logout
The terraform logout
command is used to remove credentials stored by
terraform login
. These credentials are API tokens for HCP Terraform,
Terraform Enterprise, or any other host that offers Terraform services.
Usage
Usage: terraform logout [hostname]
If you don't provide an explicit hostname, Terraform will assume you want to
log out of HCP Terraform at app.terraform.io
.
Note: the API token is only removed from local storage, not destroyed on the remote server, so it will remain valid until manually revoked.
Credentials Storage
By default, Terraform will remove the token stored in plain text in a local CLI
configuration file called credentials.tfrc.json
. If you have configured a
credentials helper program, Terraform
will use the helper's forget
command to remove it.
