Impossible to sign in with different user account
I use this browser with two MS accounts. The techcommunity does not let me choose the user account to sign in with! I'm forced to open a private window to sign in and write this feedback. So when...
This does not work for me. The correct account comes up for the account page you mention, but when I try to go to outlook.com it goes to my mother's login with no option to log out so I can use my own. 'show more options' doesn't work

Community ManagerHi ziplock9000 ,
Thanks for posting, automatic login is a contentious issue, people who are at work want it and people who are at home don't (sweeping generalization). Unfortunately we have very little control how login works for the Microsoft Tech Community, we leverage the standard Microsoft login workflows.
There are 4 basic ways to avoid this issue:
- Create separate user accounts to login to windows with for both users (see Settings -> Account -> Other Users) - best option if different users (as in your case)
- Using Edge or Chrome create a new user profile for chrome using your login and only use your account in that profile - Best option if its the same user but work / school
- Clear all cookies and local storage and try again - Not ideal but would work
- got to https://account.microsoft.com and log out of each session and then go back to the Microsoft tech community.
I hope this helps
