These credentials are API tokens for Terraform Cloud, 12 Terraform Enterprise, or any other host that offers Terraform services. 13 14 ## Usage 15 16 Usage: `terraform logout [hostname]` 17 18 If you don't provide an explicit hostname, Terraform will assume you want to 19 log out of Terraform Cloud at `app.terraform.io`. 20 21 -> **Note:** the API token is only removed from local storage, not destroyed on 22 the remote server, so it will remain valid until manually revoked. 23 24 ## Credentials Storage 25 26 By default, Terraform will remove the token stored in plain text in a local CLI 27 configuration file called `credentials.tfrc.json`. If you have configured a 28 [credentials helper program](/cli/config/config-file#credentials-helpers), Terraform 29 will use the helper's `forget` command to remove it.
