How it's used
Technical terminology like this is often borrowed directly from written Chinese, but it is fully integrated into spoken Cantonese. It is standard practice to add the particle 呀 or 㗎 to soften the instruction or question, as simply saying 登出 can sound like a cold command from a computer interface.
Examples
Remember to log out after you finish using the computer.
Why haven't I managed to log out yet?
