How to sign out of Outlook?

When you sign in on any platform, including Facebook, Amazon, Outlook, and many more, there’s always an option that pops up on your screen asking you to save your password for this website. And almost always, you click ‘Save for this website.’ As a result, when it’s time to sign in again on another device, you seldom remember the original password. 

This shows that signing in once is always easy. On the other hand, not every platform has an easily accessible signing out option. Outlook is one of the apps that allows you to sign out easily. 

There are many different ways to sign out of Outlook.
