How to View Your Microsoft Account Data

Modified on Tue, 22 Sep at 4:11 PM

Quick answer: go to account.microsoft.com and sign in with your institutional email to view your Microsoft account data: personal information, security, privacy, connected devices, and payments and subscriptions.

Before you start

Have your institutional email and Microsoft account password ready. Preferably use a computer with a browser such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge for a better view of the screens.


How it works

Microsoft brings together, in a single portal, all the information linked to your institutional account: personal data (name, email, phone), login and activity history, connected devices, payment methods and subscriptions, and browsing and location data. This dashboard is also where you review and delete privacy information and check recent access to your account.


Step by step

  1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com in your browser and click "Sign in". Enter your institutional email (example: name@student.mustedu.com) and your password, then click "Next" to finish signing in.
  2. Once you are signed in, you'll see the main account dashboard, with the sections Personal info (name, date of birth, email, and phone), Security (two-step verification, recovery methods, and recent login), Privacy (search, browsing, and location history), Devices (connected devices), and Payment & billing (saved cards, purchases, and active subscriptions).
  3. Click the "Privacy" tab to be redirected to account.microsoft.com/privacy, where you can view and delete data such as browsing history, location history, search history, voice activity, and media history.
  4. On the main dashboard, click "Security" and then "Recent activity" to see the sign-ins made to your account: date, time, city, and device type.
  5. Click "Devices" in the main menu to see the list of computers, phones, and other devices connected to your account, and remove any device you don't recognize or no longer use.

Deadlines and rules

To keep your Microsoft account secure and your data up to date:

  • Update your personal information regularly.
  • Turn on two-step verification (MFA) for extra security.
  • Review your account activity regularly and watch for suspicious sign-ins.
