Why is there no log-out function in Exodus?

Because Exodus is a self-custody wallet and not an exchange account or web-hosted service, there's no traditional account to log out from.

Instead of an email and password, what identifies your wallet and your funds is your 12-word secret recovery phrase. Your 12-word secret recovery phrase is encrypted and stored on the device where you install Exodus.

Although there is no log-out function in Exodus, you can protect your Exodus wallet with a password, so your wallet locks when you close it.

When your wallet is locked, it won't be possible for someone with your device to access your wallet or view the secret recovery phrase without the password.

Here's how you can close and lock your Exodus wallet if you have set a password:
