Microsoft has made a change to its login process that affects how you stay logged in to your account. Starting February 1st, even if you close your browser, you may remain logged in to your Microsoft account.  

This change means that once you've chosen to stay logged in, Microsoft will keep you logged in until you manually sign out of your session.

Why this matters:

• Convenience vs. Security: While this new feature offers convenience, it also raises security concerns, especially if you use a shared computer or device. If you forget to sign out, someone else could access your account.

What you need to do:

• Be mindful of where you log in: If you are using a public or shared computer, always sign out of your Microsoft account when you're finished.
• Use private browsing: When using a shared device, consider using your browser's private browsing mode (like Incognito mode) to prevent your login information from being saved.  

Stay informed:

• Microsoft may provide more details about this change in the future, so keep an eye out for updates.

By understanding this change and taking the necessary precautions, you can protect your Microsoft account and personal information.
