You can log out of Stack Overflow via the drop-down under theStack Exchange logo menu to the right:

This appliesjust to the site your are active on. You really want to log out from theOpenID provider, too, as anyone can now use your computer to log back in to Stack Overflow, often without being challenged to re-enter credentials. How you do that depends on what provider you are using.

For Google, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. you'll have to visit their sites and find the log-out option there.

You can find what OpenID providers are authorised by clicking on themy logins link under theEdit Profile & Settings tab in your profile:

The simplest way is to go tohttp://stackoverflow.com/users/logout. Also works on other StackExchange sites.

Viewing from the browser on mobile, I struggled with this for way too long...

Martijn's answer is correct, but for mobile users you'll probably need to scroll the last few icons to find the button Martijn mentioned.

Stack Overflow UX designers - it's annoying to not know how to log out of your site. It's even moreannoying to have to go to another site to log out of this one (as Martijn explained).

Update

TheOpenID link Martijn shared didn't have a "log out" option when I visited, so I'm not sure if that is still a valid part of the process or not.

  Well, I guessthe Products menu is much more important than the main Stack Exchange menu containing the "log out" link ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  On mobile the logout dropdown menu is present for Stack Exchange sites but not for Stack Overflow, it simply disappears.
