Why each option
To automatically sign out a user from a canvas app after a period of inactivity or app switching, a Timer control is the appropriate choice.
A Screen is a container for controls and does not inherently provide timing or logout functionality; while the timer would be placed on a screen, the screen itself isn't the control for the action.
A Display form is used to show data from a single record and has no timing or logout capabilities.
A Timer control in Power Apps is designed to run logic after a specified duration. It can be configured to reset on user activity or when the app loses focus, making it ideal for implementing inactivity-based sign-out functionality by triggering an action after a set time.
A Toggle is a control for switching between two states (e.g., on/off) and is not designed for timed actions or automatic sign-out.
