To view or manage the list of devices linked to your Microsoft account via
Code: https://account.microsoft.com/devices
How to View Linked Devices (Personal Microsoft Account)
- Go to https://account.microsoft.com/devices and sign in with your Microsoft credentials.
- You’ll see a list of devices (Windows PCs, Xbox consoles) that are currently registered to your account.
Manage (Remove) Devices- Unlink unwanted devices:
- Online: Click Remove device under the device listing on the same page and confirm removal. This frees up your device limit and prevents future Microsoft Store/app associations.
- From Windows 11 settings:
- Navigate to Settings → Accounts → Linked devices (Windows 11 Home/Pro, starting with certain builds). You can view and manage devices directly here, though removal still happens online.
If Devices Aren’t Listed- Some devices (like Macs, mobile phones) may not appear if they aren't registered via Windows or Xbox sign-in.
- Devices may auto-clear after ~14 days if account sync is off (e.g., in Edge, Chrome); this is typical and helps clean up stale entries.
Where do I enter my Microsoft code?
To enter your Microsoft code (usually a 6- or 8-digit number for device sign-in or two-step verification), go to the correct URL based on what you're doing.
If you're signing into a device with a code (e.g., Xbox, Teams, Office):
Go to: https://microsoft.com/devicelogin
Steps:
- Open the link on a browser: https://microsoft.com/devicelogin
- Enter the code displayed on your device or app.
- Click Next.
- Sign in with your Microsoft account credentials.
- Follow the prompts to authorize the device.
If you're entering a security code for login or password recovery:
You’ll see a prompt within Microsoft’s login flow (like Outlook, OneDrive, or Xbox) that asks for:- a code sent to your phone or email, or
- a code from the Microsoft Authenticator app
Enter the code in the field provided on the login screen, not a separate website.
