Microsoft isn’t automatically keeping you signed into your account just yet

Summary
Microsoft has been notifying Outlook.com users about upcoming changes to the sign-in process, but subsequently corrected the message.
The tech giant had intended to roll out an update in February that would keep users signed into their Microsoft accounts unless they took action to sign out or used private browsing, but the company has now said that this was a mistake, and that no changes will be introduced at the time.
“The incorrect notifications have been removed”, according to Microsoft’s Alex Simons, vice president of identity and network access program management.
It is not yet clear when the update will be instituted, but when it does occur it will mean that users are automatically kept signed in.
This will mean that using private browsing mode or remembering to sign out after each session will become necessary to avoid inadvertently staying signed in.
