Do I have to sign out between sessions?
If you do not sign out, our website (and other Cornell Lab websites, such as Project FeederWatch and eBird) will remember you, and automatically sign you in. However, if you’re using a public computer or have other household members that have their own Cornell Lab accounts, we recommend that you sign out so that no one else accidentally submits data under your account by mistake. Similarly, signing out is not necessary if you participate in another Cornell Lab project and need to switch between project websites.
TIP: For users with more than one Cornell Lab account (for example, those who may participate as part of their job, or participate with a local group or organization), you may wish to sign into each separate account on different browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc.). This would help prevent the need to log in and out repeatedly to switch between accounts. For example, in such a case, if you signed in to Account A on Chrome and Account B on Firefox, you would need only open the relevant browser to be signed in to your desired account.
