One of the great benefits of having a Microsoft account is the ability to use your login information to log in to other applications and services.
Sometimes, applications and services will integrate with your account in some way. For example, you can connect your Google and Microsoft accounts so you can synchronize email and calendar between two services.
However, if you have used your Microsoft login information as a way to access third-party services over the past few years, you may have a long list of connected applications that present you. No longer used.
From a security standpoint, this is not good. Typically, you will grant these applications different reading and editing capabilities. If an old application is handed to another person, the owner can use those permissions in illicit ways.
To remedy this situation, you need to take action to recover third-party access for applications that you no longer use.
How to revoke access to your Microsoft account
To revoke third-party access to your Microsoft account, follow these steps:
1. Go to account.microsoft.com/account and log in to your account.
2. Click the Privacy tab at the top of the page. You may need to verify your identity by emailing code.
3. Scroll to the Other privacy settings section .
4. Go to the Apps and services section> Apps and services that can access your data .
5. Review the application list and set the applications you want to recall.
6. Click Edit under the corresponding application name.
7. Select Remove these permissions .
Good luck!
