How to Log Out of a Microsoft Account

Are you having trouble signing out of your Microsoft account? If so, this guide will walk you through the steps to ensure that you're completely signed out and secure.

Before we dive into the process, it's essential to note that if you've linked other accounts like Nintendo Network ID, Google account, or Apple ID to your Microsoft account, make sure those devices are also signed out. You can do this by selecting specific devices you've visited in the past 30 days or sign out of all devices.

To start, visit the Sign-In and Security settings in your profile. Click on 'View your Sign-In History' to access a list of options. Select 'Sign out' at the bottom of the page to log out of your Microsoft account completely.

Another important step is to ensure that you're signed out of all accounts linked to your Microsoft account, especially if multiple people use your mobile device or PC. This will prevent any unauthorized access to your account.

If you want to switch to a different Nintendo Switch console as your primary console, you'll need to deactivate the current one. You can find instructions on how to do this in our guide on 'How to Deactivate a Nintendo Switch Console.'

Additionally, if you want to remove your Microsoft account from a Nintendo Switch console, please see our guide on 'How to Unlink a Nintendo Account From a Nintendo Switch Console.'

By following these steps, you'll be able to log out of your Microsoft account securely and ensure that your personal information remains protected. Remember to regularly review your sign-in history and take necessary measures to keep your account safe.
