Teams Multiple Login Security

Hi,

In my line of work i am often logged into 6+ computers at a time and for long periods, i use all of them for chat messaging and live meetings. I can't log off the pc's because i am running test software on them and running long term tests.

I'm always concerned other people can use my account for messaging, reading my conversations etc. When i log off Teams it always remembers my credentials so anyone can log straight back in.

Is there a way to make Teams secure while I'm away and still be able to leave the pc operating all the other processes? Is it possible to turn off credential storage just for Teams?

    Hi

    My name is Daniel. I am an Independent Advisor.

    It's possible for MS Team to remove your credentials. Please follow these steps:

    Step 1

    • Right-click the MS Team icon from the taskbar > select quit
    • Go to Windows settings > Accounts
    • Select "Access Work and School" > Select old work account > Click Disconnect
    • Sign out and Sign in again. Go to "Email & App account" > Click on old work account and Remove

    Step 2:

    • Click Windows Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Credential Manager.

    Note: if View by is set to Category, click user accounts first, and then click Credential Manager.

    • Select the Windows Credentials option. Locate the set of credentials that has either Microsoft Teams in the name and then expand the corresponding folder.
    • Click Remove from Vault (depending on which version of Windows you are running).

    Step 3:

    Please login into the MS Team desktop app and make sure you uncheck the "Allow my organization to manage my device" option. (See screenshot.)
