  1. How do I forget a device I saved when changing my password?


    I recently changed my password via Security > Change Password.Before arriving at the "Change your password" screen where I enter my current and new password, I was asked to authenticate my Microsoft account. I chose a text message with a code as my authentication method.Upon entering the code, the "Save this device" or something of that sort checkbox had been checked by default, effectively saving my device.I realize my device was saved only for authentication purposes. However, I can't find my device in the Devices menu.May someone please help me unsave, or forget, my device? I prefer no

    :)
