NEVER reveal your 'powder.def' file to anyone.

powder.pref basically contains something similar to browser cookies. If someone has the session cookies then that means they are logged in as that user. Because typing in your password every time you wanted to upload a save would be annoying ... -

This thread is incredibly old and no longer applies.
Once upon a time, there was a file called powder.def. It contained your password in plaintext, which was sent to the server in every request. Then someone realized this was a terrible idea after people constantly distributed their plaintext passwords. So now we have powder.pref, which basically has a session cookie instead of your password.
powder.pref is still bad and should never be distributed if you are logged in. Since it does give full login access. The only thing it doesn't give is your password. -

Sounds like a similar issue that happened with Minecraft session IDs and people accidentally distributing theirs.

No, logging out in game doesn't actually do anything besides delete the cookies from your computer.
A new thing I added to the website was that it will actually delete your session ...
Anyway, to logout, you just have to login 3 times and that will clear the cache of cookies on the website. -
