Systems and methods for logging users out of online accounts

A system for logging users out of online accounts, the system comprising:

• a request module, stored in memory, that receives, from a first computing device of a user, a request from the user to log into an online account that:
• enables the user to perform at least one online task;
• and
• is hosted by an online platform;
• an establishing module, stored in memory, that establishes, between the online platform and a second computing device of the user, a network session that both:
• verifies the identity of the user to the online platform by providing, to the online platform, authentication credentials associated with the user;
• and
• at least partially disrupts the functionality of the second computing device while the user is logged into the online account via the first computing device such that the user is motivated to log out of the online account after performing the online task;
• an authentication module, stored in memory, that logs the user into the online account via the first computing device in response to the network session being established between the online platform and the second computing device;
• wherein the request module further detects a request from the user to log out of the online account;
• a termination module, stored in memory, that in response to the request to log out of the online account:
• restores full functionality of the second computing device by terminating the network session between the online platform and the second computing device;
• and
• logs the user out of the online account;
• and
• at least one hardware processor that is configured to execute the request module, the establishing module, the authentication module, and the termination module.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• receive, from a first computing device of a user, a request from the user to log into an online account that:
• enables the user to perform at least one online task;
• and
• is hosted by an online platform;
• establish, between the online platform and a second computing device of the user, a network session that both:
• verifies the identity of the user to the online platform by providing, to the online platform, authentication credentials associated with the user;
• and
• at least partially disrupts the functionality of the second computing device while the user is logged into the online account via the first computing device such that the user is motivated to log out of the online account after performing the online task;
• in response to establishing the network session between the online platform and the second computing device, log the user into the online account via the first computing device;
• detect a request from the user to log out of the online account;
• and
• in response to detecting the request to log out of the online account:
• restore full functionality of the second computing device by terminating the network session between the online platform and the second computing device;
• and
• log the user out of the online account.
