»Command: logout

The terraform logout command is used to remove credentials stored by terraform login. These credentials are API tokens for Terraform Cloud, 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 Terraform Cloud 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.
