Force log out of all Xbox and microsoft accounts

Decayed · Jan 8, 2022

Hi There,

Im wondering if any one knows or can help me with logging all signed in accounts off is I have re-logged into my Xbox account having moved country only to find my gamer tag name has changed and this was not me.

I have the MS authenticator set up and i have had this set up from last year so the account now is at least secure but i think when i sold my Xbox after resetting to factory settings my account may have somehow been logged in or something.

I have looked account the help site can cant find anything helpful other then reset your password.

(kinda don't want to do this as microsoft won't let you have a password you have already used. I have changed it so many times that its hard to find a memorable one now )

side note anyone know how to move an authenticator to a new phone?

Thank you

:)

Unfortunately the only way to sign out of all devices is by changing the password and choosing the option of signing out of all devices.

Change the password on your account, it won't let you log back in on a console until you provide the new password.

Or you can just change your password, all logged in devices will be forced to re-authenticate. or just sign onto another xbox and that will force the other account to sign out. hope that helps.

Hello! There is no way you can 100% remove the account from the person console, but changing the password will deny them access. What this means that your account will still show on their log in prompt in that section, but they'll be locked behind the
"Enter password" wall once you've created a new password.

Tl;dr: Your account will still appear on there system, but they cannot log into it unless they somehow find out your new password.

Hi there,

The most effective solution, Is to change your account password here . Although; if you still want to remove a device from your account please follow the instructions
on this link.

Hello! What this sounds like is someone having access to your account when they shouldn't. One way to prevent this from happening is changing your accounts password to something more secure so the person causing this cannot log onto your account (Be sure
to change it to something not similar to your old one).
