Remove an old work account.

Hi Eric, I'm John D, and I am happy to help you with this.

I understand how frustrating it can be to keep receiving notifications to authenticate for Microsoft "Lists" with your old work account, especially since you left your previous company over a year ago.

Based on the information you have shared with me, it appears that your old work account is still linked to the Microsoft "Lists" app. In order to remove this account and stop receiving these notifications, you can try the following steps:

> Open the Microsoft "Lists" app on your laptop.

> Click on the profile icon on the top right-hand side of the screen.

> Select "Sign out" from the dropdown menu.

> If prompted, enter your old work account details and sign out.

> Once you have signed out, close the app and reopen it.

> Sign in to the app with your current Microsoft account linked to your family subscription.

By following these steps, you should be able to remove your old work account from the Microsoft "Lists" app and stop receiving notifications to authenticate with it.

I hope this solution helps you resolve the issue.

Best regards,

Remove an old work account.

Hi Eric,

If the "Lists" app is not installed on your laptop, it is possible that the notification you are receiving is coming from a different source. One possibility is that the notification is coming from the Microsoft Edge browser, which may be trying to access the "Lists" app on the web.

To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:

> Open Microsoft Edge browser on your laptop.

> Click on the three dots on the top right-hand side of the screen.

> Go to Settings and click on "Profiles."

> Check if your old work account is listed under "Profiles."

> If it is, click on the three dots next to the account and select "Remove."

Once you have removed your old work account from the Microsoft Edge browser, you should stop receiving notifications to authenticate with it.

I hope this solution helps you resolve the issue.

Best regards,
