That's it! By sending a user to the ``app_logout`` route (i.e. to ``/logout``)
Symfony will un-authenticate the current user and redirect them.

Logout programmatically
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. versionadded:: 6.2

The :class:`Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\Security\Security <Symfony\\Bundle\\SecurityBundle\\Security\\Security>`
class was introduced in Symfony 6.2. Prior to 6.2, it was called
``Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Security``.

.. versionadded:: 6.2

The :method:`Symfony\\Bundle\\SecurityBundle\\Security\\Security::logout`
method was introduced in Symfony 6.2.

You can logout user programmatically using the ``logout()`` method of the
:class:`Symfony\\Bundle\\SecurityBundle\\Security\\Security` helper::

// src/Controller/SecurityController.php
namespace App\Controller\SecurityController;

use Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\Security\Security;

class SecurityController
{
public function someAction(Security $security): Response
{
// logout the user in on the current firewall
$response = $security->logout();

// you can also disable the csrf logout
$response = $security->logout(false);

// ... return $response (if set) or e.g. redirect to the homepage
}
}

The user will be logout from the firewall of the request. If the request is
not behind a firewall a ``\LogicException`` will be thrown.
