Thanks for this tip. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. The “To access the private area of this site, please log in.” page appears, however it doesn't have the needed fields to enter the username, password or a submit button. Any thoughts? Thanks, again!

By default there's a logout link in the User Menu. Make sure that module is published. Or you can just let the session expire (15 mins by default)

Love the solution, but now how do you log-out so the edit icons aren't showing up for each article?

I'm sure there are a few ways to do this.

This method was drop dead simple and only requires a couple of back end edits.

Also I'm not a huge fan of plugins. (For any CMS) I use a few with semi-confidence, but I tend to favour solutions that don't require them.

Good article, another method is to use sh404SEF rewrite make a link from yourdomain.com/login to /index.php?option=com_user&view=login
