As a user I want to sign out of my account so that my identity is no longer active on this device.

This is simply a change of copy. Remember Vault → Identity:

Acceptance Criteria

  • Sign out is accessible from the avatar dropdown menu

  • Tapping sign out shows a confirmation modal before any action is taken

  • Modal title: "Sign out?"

  • Modal text: "Your identity will no longer be active on this device. You can sign back in at any time."

  • Buttons: Cancel and Sign out

  • Confirming sign out removes the identity from the device and returns the user to the signed-out state

  • The avatar icon reverts to the outlined/dashed state

  • If the user has multiple accounts, signing out of one account switches to the next available account instead of returning to a fully signed-out state

Basic Flow

  1. User clicks avatar → Sign out

  2. Confirmation modal appears

  3. User clicks Sign out

  4. Identity removed from device

  5. User returned to signed-out state — avatar reverts to outlined icon

Edge Cases

  • User taps Cancel → modal closes, nothing changes

  • User has multiple accounts → signs out of active account, app switches to next account automatically

  • User signs out and immediately tries to sign back in → standard sign-in flow, i

  • ⚠️ User has a local-only identity and signs out → identity is no longer accessible on this device and cannot be recovered without a backup. Worth adding an extra warning in this case
