- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
Currently, there's no documented way to logout from all active Claude Code instances simultaneously. This creates challenges for users who need to:
- Switch between multiple Anthropic accounts
- Revoke access across all devices for security reasons
- Clear authentication state when troubleshooting
- Manage sessions in multi-user or shared environment scenarios
Proposed Solution
Add a command to logout from all instances, such as:
claude logout --all
Or a more explicit version:
claude logout --all-sessions
This command should:
- Invalidate all active sessions/tokens for the current account
- Clear local credential storage
- Optionally provide feedback about which instances were logged out
Alternative Solutions
- A web dashboard where users can view and revoke active sessions
- Documentation on manually clearing credentials from system credential managers
- A --global flag for the logout command
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful

CLI commands and flags
Use Case Example
- Security: Immediately revoke access if credentials are compromised
- Account switching: Clean logout before authenticating with a different account
- Troubleshooting: Reset authentication state across all instances
- Enterprise/team environments: Proper session management
