How to Remove Microsoft 365 Account Access from Google Chrome
Question details
The user wants to revoke Microsoft 365 access from Google Chrome after allowing it through a browser notification.
- Product
- Microsoft 365 / Google Chrome
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Managing browser permissions and third-party app access to prevent a service from continuing to use an account.
- Observed behavior
- Microsoft 365 services currently have allowed access via Google Chrome notifications or account links, and the user wishes to completely sever this connection.
Ensure you are logged into the specific Google Account associated with the Chrome profile where the Microsoft 365 access was initially granted.
Revoke Microsoft 365 Access in Google Account Settings
This is the most effective method to remove third-party app permissions linked to your Google Account.
If the permission was granted directly to your Google account, you must manage it through Google's unified security portal rather than local browser settings.
Open Google Chrome, click your profile picture in the top-right corner, and select 'Manage your Google Account'.
On the left-hand navigation menu, click on the 'Security' tab.
Scroll down to the section titled 'Your connections to third-party apps & services' and click on it.
Locate 'Microsoft 365' or related Microsoft services in the list, click on it, and select 'Delete all connections you have with Microsoft 365' to confirm the revocation.
Clear Chrome Site Settings for Microsoft Services
If the issue stems from local browser notifications rather than account-level permissions, clearing Chrome site settings will resolve it.
Contact IT Administrator (For Work/School Accounts)
Organizational accounts often have enforced policies that prevent individual users from modifying access settings manually.
Try WPS Office for a Distraction-Free Experience
If you want to avoid complicated browser permissions, constant notification prompts, and online account syncing issues associated with Microsoft 365, consider switching to WPS Office. It provides a lightweight, locally installed suite that does not force unwanted browser integrations.
- 1. Download WPS Office: Visit the official WPS website and download the free installer.
- 2. Install the Software: Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to set up WPS Office on your device.
- 3. Open Your Files: Launch WPS Office and instantly open your existing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents without needing browser access.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Microsoft 365 keep asking for access in Google Chrome?
This usually happens when you first access Microsoft services online and the browser attempts to integrate your Google account for easier sign-in. It can also be triggered repeatedly if site cookies are blocked or if organizational policies enforce Single Sign-On (SSO).
Will revoking Google Account access delete my Microsoft 365 files?
No, revoking access only removes the connection and login permissions between your Google account (or Chrome browser) and Microsoft 365. Your documents, emails, and data remain safely stored on Microsoft's servers.
How do I stop Chrome notifications from Microsoft Outlook or Word?
Go to Chrome Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Notifications. Locate the Microsoft 365, Office, or Outlook URL under the 'Allowed to send notifications' list, click the three dots next to it, and select 'Remove' or 'Block'.
How can I tell if the permission issue is specific to Google Chrome?
You can isolate the issue by opening a different browser, such as Microsoft Edge, and logging into your account. If the 'Allow Access' prompt does not appear in Edge, the problem is localized to your Chrome settings or Google account permissions.
