I'm new to Kibana, I logged into kibana v7.7.0 but cannot find the sign out button. Do I simply close my browser ?  
That's kind of a strange way to log out of an application, at least to me...

Pls enlighten me guys.

You need to share your setup

Do you have xpack.security.enabled: true in your Elasticsearch.yml

Did you run  
Elasticsearch-setup-passwords

If security is not enabled there are no users or passwords

For example if you can run the following command in terminal and you get an output security is not enabled

```auto
curl -XGET localhost:9200/
{
  "name" : "elastic",
  "cluster_name" : "elastic",
  "cluster_uuid" : "Q-KQ1VYvTEy2LtXJGAovjw",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "8.1.0",
    "build_flavor" : "default",
    "build_type" : "deb",
    "build_hash" : "3700f7679f7d95e36da0b43762189bab189bc53a",
    "build_date" : "2022-03-03T14:20:00.690422633Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "9.0.0",
    "minimum_wire_compatibility_version" : "7.17.0",
    "minimum_index_compatibility_version" : "7.0.0"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

```

Do note that in 8.1.0 this is setup automatically now (for better or worse) so maybe you should upgrade and try again
