With Desigo CC version 6.0 or higher, when you log in to the Flex Client application using an Identity Provider, you must log out from Flex Client and the Identity Provider independently. However, if you are logged in to the Flex Client app with MyId (Siemens ID) via Auth0, then a single logout from Flex Client applies to both Flex Client and the Identity Provider.

Security of Flex web app in the mobile browser

Likewise Flex web/desktop app, use the Log out option to exit the Flex web app rather than only closing the browser.
After signing out, you can close the browser. If using a shared portable device, make sure to also clear the browser history and cache.

Browsers offer to save your username and password so that they are remembered at the next login. It is recommended to decline this option.
Your organization can take measures to disable browsers from storing your login credentials.
