These credentials are API tokens for Terraform Cloud, 13 Terraform Enterprise, or any other host that offers Terraform services. 14 15 ## Usage 16 17 Usage: `terraform logout [hostname]` 18 19 If you don't provide an explicit hostname, Terraform will assume you want to 20 log out of Terraform Cloud at `app.terraform.io`. 21 22 -> **Note:** the API token is only removed from local storage, not destroyed on 23 the remote server, so it will remain valid until manually revoked. 24 25 ## Credentials Storage 26 27 By default, Terraform will remove the token stored in plain text in a local CLI 28 configuration file called `credentials.tfrc.json`. If you have configured a 29 [credentials helper program](cli-config.html#credentials-helpers), Terraform 30 will use the helper's `forget` command to remove it.
