Used it. thanks.

Thnk you

Thanks a lot!!!

this is really simple, but be careful ! if you just pop one value from the session list, it won't clear the session. To to that properly, regardless the number of values in session(), you should replace your sign_out() with something like that :

@app.route('/sign_out')
def sign_out():
    session.clear()
    return redirect(url_for('index'))
