How do I logout of phpMyAdmin 4.x - probably with a "hack"?

Question

For some reason, in this version, they decided we don't need a logout button anymore!?

VERY frustrating, as I switch between databases all day long, and my 'best' option so far is to log right out of my hosting, log back in, launch phpmyadmin, then log into that!

Does anyone know a url variable, or actual link to go to to log out?

Thanks!

try modifying the path of your url to /phpmyadmin/index.php?old_usr=whatever in the browser. They may have disabled the link, but left the code that handles the logout call installed.

1) I do not have this version at hand, but maybe there is some small button in the upper right area on the right side, to the right of the "home" button. The one with a little green arrow pointing to the right is the logout button, if youhave it.

2) Very unlikely on a server of a hosting company, but maybe someone else who comes from a google search needs this information:

This can happen if you are not logged in, because the instance of phpmyadmin is configured to not need a login and be freely accessible. This can be changed in the configuration.

3) This is not answering your question directly, but maybe you could install your own instance of phpmyadmin using its latest downloadable package on the same hosting account and configure it to your needs. Maybe on a subdomain of one of your projects, if it is technically possible to access all the databases from it.

I use the version 4:3.4.11.1-2 on Debian, like mit said I'm able to log out with the second button on the left, right above the information_schema db. A butto with an icon like a small open door with a green arrow pointing to the... left! :)

I agree with @kandu. This appears to be a customization done by the web host through their cPanel. If you access phpMyAdmin through your web host's cPanel like me, then you should be able to logout out of cPanel, and this will also logout of phpMyAdmin. Note that this will not close your phpMyAdmin browser window, but you will get an access error if you try to do anything (since you are now logged out). Hope that helps.

Only thing that worked for me, was deleting the session cookie. (In browser dev tools > Storage > Cookies)
