Microsoft was planning to make some adjustments to the way in which you check in to a Microsoft account in February, retaining accounts signed in routinely until you signal out or use personal looking. Whereas the adjustments have been communicated to Outlook.com customers via a notification and in a now-removed Microsoft help article, Microsoft has now confirmed to The Verge that this was a mistake.
“There shall be no adjustments to Microsoft customers’ business (Microsoft Entra) or shopper (Microsoft account) check in experiences in February,” confirms Alex Simons, company vp of identification & community entry program administration at Microsoft, in an announcement to The Verge. “Media experiences have been based mostly on incomplete info mistakenly printed by a Microsoft product group. The wrong notifications have been eliminated.”
Microsoft hasn’t clarified when it plans to finally roll out these adjustments after the mistaken notifications, however as soon as they arrive it means you’ll not be requested if you wish to keep signed in, and Microsoft will routinely hold you signed in as a substitute.
As soon as Microsoft begins to routinely hold you signed in you’ll have to make use of a non-public looking window on public PCs or be sure you bear in mind to signal out as soon as your session ends, in any other case the account will stay signed in.
