    Hi there, Joycegtx1951, I hope you're doing well! 

     

    If you visit your Security page online, you should be able to log out of your device remotely using the steps in this Help Center article. 

     

    It's not exactly an auto-log out feature, but it would work if your device got stolen for instance. 

     

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate to let me know!

Require a passcode when you launch the app and that wouldn't be an issue. It's an option in Settings within the app.
