Hi there,
Why does Outlook automatically log me into my Email without me having to type my email address or password? When I turn my computer on, I go to my Desktop and click on the Outlook icon to open up my email. It is logging me into that email without me even having to enter my password information, and quite frankly, I find this very unsettling. This means that anyone who uses my computer once it is turned on, can access my email without my permission. How can I correct this so Outlook asks me to enter my email address and password each time I want to log into my email? Thanks.

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I have the exact same problem and I just stated using windows 10 It automatically sign me in and I have to sign out and sign back in with my private mail. You are getting many answers but none of them are helpful
My point exactly. The problem, which was the original post of this forum, was that people (including me) were not being asked to sign-in at the start of the internet browser. We would click on the shortcut for outlook e-mail and instantly be at our inbox. If we closed all browsers after signing out, when we clicked on the shortcut again (even though we signed out) it would be back in the inbox without typing your password.
I was just explaining to people that if this was the problem, then you had to disconnect the trusted device in order to be prompted to type in your password every time you want to access e-mail, even if signed out or browsers closed.
You are confusing the form data and the checkbox for "remember me" to be the problem when the original post was about trusted devices as I had the problem myself and fixed it with my own knowledge.
Then log into your account and remove your trusted devices.
Trusted devices, however, don't log in automatically or have anything to do with what appears in the logon form. What happens with a trusted device is that two-step verification isn't required except for the initial access.
Again read my September 17th entry half way down the 6th page of replies. It clearly states that this problem is with Trusted Devices and has nothing to do with the auto-remember checkbox or form data (because that's what the checkbox is).
As explained in the 4th paragraph of my reply to the main thread topic, confirmed by the user you responded to, the check box and form data have nothing to do with Trusted Microsoft Devices. Please read my September 17th entry halfway up the 6th page of replies. I don't know why you responded to Velynna when she said that I had already solved her problem.
