Why Does Outlook automatically log me in without my email address and password?

Go into the Advanced tab in Internet Options (found by clicking on the settings gear icon in IE), and unchecking the 'Enable Integrated Windows Authentication' option.

That should prevent it from using the Microsoft Account details to auto login once you've signed out.

Well, I have solved the problem because I had the problem and now I do not.

I'm not a computer expert, but I have grown up with computers and I have gotten use to just figuring things out for myself because of all the know-it-alls out there that try and help with problems that they do not have experience with.

The reason why this problem may happen on any system is because it's specifically an outlook.com technical quirk that has to do with the laziness of people not wanting to protect and type in their e-mail and password all the time. So that would mean windows 7, 8, and 10 along with my intuition is saying any windows at all.

Now this is a lot simpler than needing all 5 of these response pages. THE REASON WHY THIS IS HAPPENEING IS BECAUSE OUTLOOK HAS SAVED YOUR DEVICE, WHETHER BE A PHONE OR COMPUTER OR TABLET, AS A TRUSTED DEVICE. In order to fix this auto sign-in, which does not have anything to do with the web page remembering you as a check in the box under where you type your password, you need to go to outlook.com and find your ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT. Once there you will find a link to MORE SECURITY SETTINGS, found under the Safety and Security tab close to the top of the webpage. Now scroll all the way down to the bottom where it should say close account and right above that should be a link that will allow you to remove all trusted devices.

Now after you have removed all trusted devices, every time you go to change account settings it will ask for a security verification code that will be sent to an alternative e-mail address, or a text or call, every time you want to change settings. But in doing this it will no longer auto sign-in to your account that is set-up with your device. This applies automatically to any new devices with windows 8 or higher as it happened to me with a brand new laptop. However I have never had this problem before because I never allow my devices to become TRUSTED. So my desktop with windows 7 worked just fine with sign-ins since I never manually added trusted devices, but now any newly registered device needs an account and therefore takes it upon itself to mark it as trusted the first time you use it.

That would be about all I can think to say other than when you have removed all trusted devices to close all browsers and test it out, as well as a restart of device after to test a second time. Like I said i'm sure I understand this problem now and hope I'm clear enough to help anyone out.

That is a nice answer, but don't solve my problem.

What causes Outlook to automatically log on when I start my computer?

What button do I use or where do I go to shut this off and keep it from happening?

Vista never did this, just this 8.1 mess I have now.

BTW I still can't get my Outlook shut off yet after trying for 16 days now.

MSM Support has proven to be useless in getting Outlook e mail shut off.

After 40 E mails between MSN support and me, NOTHING.

Now they have even closed my case and told me to start over with a new one.

What a waste of time.

If you're using Windows 8, did you elect to use your Microsoft ID and password as the Start screen credentials?  If so, that's probably why.  When you log into Windows, you are authenticating to Windows Live/Hotmail/Outlook.com

When I purchased this new computer, I used my Bell Aliant email address to initiate service with a different password. When I shut my computer down completely and then it comes back on, my Bellaliant email address is shown on the screen and I have to type a password in to initiate Windows. I did not use anything Hotmail/Outlook related whatsoever to log into Windows, I used my Bell Aliant email address and created a brand new password just for Windows.  I don't know what else could be causing it. Even when my spouse goes to log into his Outlook, he clicks on the Outlook icon or even uses Outlook.com in the URL, as soon as he hits enter from there, it automatically logs ME in instead and does not give him the option to sign in.  He has to physically log me out from that screen, and only then does it display the screen where you have to enter your email address and password.

Your Bell Aliant address was made into a Microsoft account.

You can use the Bell Aliant address to login to SkyDrive?

 

Sky Drive??? I have no idea what that even is. I was talking about one of the previous responses that asked me what address I use to log my computer in. As far as a Microsoft account log in, do you mean did I create a new log in to access this page for help?  I don't use Skydrive, as I said, I am not familiar with that. I don't know what else to say. Basically I had no issues at all until my Hotmail was changed to Outlook.  I have had nothing but problems with it since. I wish they would have just left things alone and given us the option to change or not to change.  Not impressed right now.

The only way I am correcting it now, is when I click on the icon and it automatically logs me in, I sign out and have to log in again.

When you go to login again is Keep me signed in checked?

Are you clicking the shortcut to log in again?
