You can sign out of your Microsoft account on all devices by visiting the security overview page on your Microsoft account website.

Your Microsoft account is your central login for Windows, Office, OneDrive, and other Microsoft services. Signing out remotely is a crucial step to secure your account and protect your data across every connected device and application.

This process will log you out of web browsers, apps, and other linked services within 24 hours. Keep in mind that Xbox consoles require a manual sign-out and are not included in this automated remote sign-out feature.

⚡ Quick Answer

Visit the Advanced security options page for your Microsoft account online and sign in. Scroll down to the “Sign out everywhere” section and click the link, then confirm your choice to sign out from all devices within 24 hours.
