Lost/stolen iphone - how to log out of Hotmail remotely

Anonymous

My iPhone has been stolen and I am concerned because there is a browser window open and logged in to Hotmail. 

How can I log out of all Hotmail sessions, thereby closing the one on the iPhone remotely?

There is also a quick link to email on the homepage of the iPhone, but I have changed the Hotmail password which I believe stops this working, whereas the browser window stays logged in even after the password has been changed.

I have found advice elsewhere that says you can log out of all sessions by going to "options", "personal", but I cannot find these options on my Hotmail.

    Hi Guys.

    In the new Outlook-Hotmail hybrd thingo, It looks like if you click on the cog on the top right, next to your avatar, click "Options" on the left. Click "General" and then click "Mobile Devices". From there you can block/remove devices.

    This might only stop syncing though.

    Hope I helped a bit! :-)

    Changing your password will prevent the account from staying signed in on your lost or stolen iPhone. The feature that you're looking for (log out all session) is no longer available in Hotmail.

    this is nice, but if one's phone been stolen (like mine yesterday at the airport gate) then you cannot really change password, since you have to confirm texted code - that is sms message to the phone which is stolen.

    It doesn't just let you "change the password" though. It changes your security setting which means NOTHING changes for 30 days.

    I truly truly loathe the security functionality of hotmail....

    Hi,

    Can you send us a screenshot of the options you have on your end so that we will be on the same page and will know how to assist you better? Also, it would be best if you can provide us the screenshot of the message you are getting when you try to change the password.

    We look forward to your reply.
