Playfab logout

Hello,

so I have followed the documentation and some youtube videos on having the player, register, log in, recover... but trying to find one that will "Logout" the player, or end there session etc., but there is no clear answer to this, so not sure if there is? the only thing i got was:

https://community.playfab.com/idea/35615/client-api-call-for-logout.html

to use: PlayFabClientAPI.ForgetAllCredentials()

is this still valid to log the player out? what i want like many online games is for the player to hit the button and "Log out" of the game when they are done playing...

PlayFab is a service based on RESTful API, which is stateless. The Session ticket/Entity token returned from successful login API will last around 24 hours and there is no built-in logout feature.

To be clear, PlayFabClientAPI.ForgetAllCredentials() is not an API call, instead it is just a Unity-specific feature that helps players to clear the login credentials. However, it is true that You can implement this method in button OnClick function to realize a logout feature.

If you have any trouble on a specific case, please feel free to let us know.
