How to get out of Microsoft account

Microsoft account can be used for different purposes, ranging from authorization on the official website and ending with associated applications or operating system. Next, we consider the most popular situations when you want to exit the account, and you will need to choose the appropriate and execute instructions.

Option 1: Official site Microsoft

If you have previously created a profile in Microsoft, it can always be logged in on the official website and access all settings, most of which do not require a preliminary confirmation of the person through sending a message to the phone number or email address. This causes the need to exit account so that no one else can access and change important parameters to it.

1. Speak on your own home page or use the reference above. Click the profile icon to open the control menu.



2. Make sure that this is really your account, then click on "Exit".



3. The page will reboot, and instead of the profile image, an icon will appear with the input button.



4. When you click on it, the data entry form will appear for registration or authorization. This means that you have successfully come out of your account.

When entering information for authorization on sites in different browsers, the program proposes to save this data to create an autofill form and no longer specify the login and password manually. If this function is enabled in the web browser used, most likely to enter Microsoft's profile again without your participation, since the email address and password will be concluded in the field automatically. Check this theory is simple: After the output, click "Log in" and see if autofill elements will appear. If yes, click on the link below to delete an account from the list of saved.

Option 2: Switching an account in Windows

Windows 10 uses Microsoft Account as a user profile. After installing the operating system, you log in in it, configure synchronization and other parameters. If you want to get out of the account so that it is no longer connected to the OS on this computer, and make a local account that does not apply to Microsoft or other accounts on the network, follow these steps:

1. Open the Start menu and go to "Parameters".



2. Among the list of available settings, find "Accounts".



3. The new window will open in the desired section, so just find out among the settings and click on the link "Log in instead with a local account".



4. After the text appears with a warning, read it and confirm your intentions in the account switching.



5. Enter the PIN code, scan fingerprint or write a password to confirm the identity for security.



6. The next step is to create a local account. Be sure to assign a name to it, and the password and the tip for it only at will. When everything is ready, click on "Next".



7. You will be notified of the successful creation of a new profile. Save the results and click on "Exit the system and finish the work." The next time you enter Windows, use the data of the new account.

Option 3: Incoming to Office Programs

This option will be suitable for owners of Office applications that work with documents or create other projects.

Approximately the same actions can be performed using individual components that are part of the office. The difference is that you are coming out of a specific program, canceling synchronization and connection with the latest documents, and in the rest everything remains just as before.
