Confirmation of intent before logout #26942

Your use case

What would you like to do?

I clicked logout by mistake. Logging back in takes ~20 minutes. I really wish I'd been asked to confirm before logging out :(

Why would you like to do it?

So that I don't waste 20 minutes logging back in :(

How would you like to achieve it?

A confirmation modal. Yes it's a smell - logging in should be quick. But whilst it isn't, a confirmation modal to avoid fat-finger logout would save some heartache.

Have you considered any alternatives?

In fairness, I've not done this super often, so I could just redouble my efforts not to log out by mistake.

Which logout button did you click?

The one in the top left user menu has such a confirmation
