I have a Blazor server application with Authentication and Authorization. I want to know how to logout a user when the user closes the browser tab without clicking the Logout button.

    You logout a user by deleting the authentication cookie. The server can not do this if the tab is closed, as this closes the connection to the client. You can detect the signal/r circuit closed.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.aspnetcore.components.server.circuits.circuithandler?view=aspnetcore-8.0

    then store in a persistent store that the user failed to logout. Then in the next request from that user, force a logout by deleting the cookie.
