How to Find Websites Using Sign In with Microsoft Account
Question details
The user needs to locate a list of all websites and applications where they have signed in using their Microsoft account.
- Product
- Microsoft Account
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- The user wants to review their account security and see which third-party websites have authenticated using their Microsoft credentials.
- Observed behavior
- Personal Microsoft accounts do not provide a complete list of every connected website, whereas work or school administrators must use Microsoft Entra ID to view organizational sign-in logs.
Verify whether you are using a personal Microsoft account or a work/school account, as tracking sign-in activity requires different tools and administrative permissions depending on the account type.
Review Sign-In Logs via Microsoft Entra ID (Work or School Accounts)
For Microsoft 365 organizations, administrators can monitor organizational sign-in activity and connected applications using Microsoft Entra ID logs.
This method is exclusively available for Microsoft 365 enterprise and educational organizations. It provides detailed logs of where and how user accounts are being used to sign in, but it requires administrator privileges.
Navigate to the Microsoft Entra admin center online and sign in using an account with Global Administrator or Security Administrator permissions.
In the left-hand navigation menu, expand the 'Identity' section, go to 'Monitoring & health', and click on 'Sign-in logs'.
Examine the list to identify the applications, browsers, and IP addresses associated with recent sign-in events.
Use the 'Add filters' button to narrow the logs down to specific users, applications, or timeframes for easier security auditing.
Manage Connected Apps and Services (Personal Accounts)
While there is no exhaustive list of every website you have logged into, you can manage the third-party apps that currently have access to your personal Microsoft account data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see every website I have ever logged into with my personal Microsoft account?
No, Microsoft does not provide a complete historical log of every website you have signed into using a personal account. You can only view and manage applications that currently hold ongoing permissions to access your data via the Privacy dashboard.
Why can't I access Microsoft Entra ID to see my sign-ins?
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) is an enterprise identity service designed for Microsoft 365 organizations. Access to its sign-in logs is strictly limited to work or school accounts with administrative privileges.
How do I revoke a website's access to my Microsoft account?
Sign in to your Microsoft account online, navigate to the Privacy tab, and select 'Apps and services that can access your data'. Click on the specific application you want to disconnect and choose 'Remove permissions'.
