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.

    Hello, 

    Sorry to revive an old topic but since there is still not a remote way to log my hotmail ( outlook ) off 

    I was at work today and went on my hotmail but apperantly im still logged in there. ( it was a Public computer which apperantly had autoremember on its browser )

    Now my Personal belongings and Critical Documents are exposed Due the lack of Security Please make it able to remotely Shut/break any other connection than from you are executing this ... In my opinion this should be an easy task for one of the world's Software leaders like microsoft.

    I'd like to quote what DeviceDoc said since this would be the best for hotmail

    "The IP logons will show whether or not the password was hacked, but the PW has been changed.  Now we need hotmail to close every session and force new logons.

    Gmail has this.  Why doesnt hotmail?"  

    I wont be supprised that microsoft wont reply to this Though why ignoring such great feature

    Hi Lawrence,

    Thank you for participating here. I understand that you are finding a replacement to that feature in Messenger but since it is already retired, we do no have that option anymore. In case you are in a situation that you need to log out your account but you cannot, what we can suggest is for you to change your password immediately. You can send this also as a feedback through the link I gave on my previous post.

    Should you have other concerns, feel free to post back.

    Regards,

    Richard

    Hi,

    Since Messenger doesn't work anymore.

    How can a Hotmail/Windows Live user, log out everywhere.

    Like Gmail allows you to log out of every other session than the current.

    I'm a professional .NET Developer, so I know it must be possible somewhere, I just don't know where.

    Kind Regards

    Hi Jody,

    Thank you for participating here. Since Messenger was already updated to Skype and it doesn't have this feature, what we can only suggest for the security of your account was to change your password immediately.

    As for your query "Why can't I just set it up in Outlook or Hotmail anymore?", I would like to clarify what feature are you trying find. In case you are trying to find the Sign out from everywhere option from Messenger to Outlook.com, I apologize but we do not have that feature there and what I can only suggest is for you to send this as a feedback through this link.

    We'll wait for your response.

    Regards,

    Richard
