How to sign out of your Microsoft account on all devices

You can sign out of your Microsoft account on all devices by visiting the security section of your Microsoft account online.

A Microsoft account is your key to accessing Windows, Office, OneDrive, and other Microsoft services with a single username and password. Signing out remotely ensures your account is secured across all platforms.

This action will log you out of web browsers, apps, and other connected services within 24 hours. Note that Xbox consoles are excluded from this automatic sign-out process.

How to sign out everywhere

You can force a sign-out from any device by following these steps:

1. Sign in to your account on the Advanced security options page.
2. Scroll down until you see the section labeled “Sign out everywhere.”
3. Click the link that says “Sign out everywhere.”

A window will pop up to confirm your choice. Click the “Sign out” button to finish.

Note: You do not need admin privileges on your local computer to perform these steps, as this is managed through your online account settings.

Summary

If you suspect someone has access to your account, use the “Sign out everywhere” feature in your Microsoft security settings. This clears your active sessions on all connected devices within 24 hours. Keep your account safe by checking your security settings often.
