Skype keeps me logged in

Hello,
for the past one year or so, Skype keeps me logged in even though I've logged out and/or shut down my computer.
I don't have it installed on any other devices or other computers.
I have changed my password, forcing every other client to disconnect but still it keeps me logged in, even though my PC is turned off.
Thanks

You can try the /showplaces and /remotelogout chat commands.

Skype keeps getting logged out on desktop when ope...

Does anyone have an idea why my skype (desk top program) signs me out when I open Outlook in a web browser to check my email? I've searched and searched and can't find a setting to undo this behavior. It has only started today.

This is happening to me and a friend. Neither of us can use the Skype plugin for Outlook, and when I attempt to sign in to chat in Outlook, the Skype client is logged out. No Skype icon appears in "conneced to" (the only thing that does appear is Messenger), and Skype is not listed under neither "connected accounts" nor the list of apps that are able to link with Outlook. Clearly, since the browser instance does disconnect the client automatically, there is still something in the browser which does attempt to connect to Skype, but it is not at all functioning like intended.
For the record, my friend and I both prefer to run the browser plugin over the client because the client takes up far too much CPU. This issue over the last couple of days has made that impossible, leaving me to find Outlook mostly useless (since I created that account specifically because of Skype's ability to hook into it).

Skype keeps logging me out after windows 10 update

Ever since I updated to Windows 10 a few days ago, skype keeps logging me out after 10 min or so. I read other posts all which suggested unlinking your account from your microsoft and/or Facebook account, which I tried but it didnt help. I am not linked to either of them. I am using the desktop version of Skype, not the windows app. I never had any problems before this windos 10 upgrade. Any ideas?

Skype keeps logging on with my secondary alias.

I have set up a secondary alias (and had it set to primary for a short time - some unpleasantness suggested by support for another service), and now Skype will only log on with my secondary alias. This prevents me from messaging with most of my contacts.
I've quit Skype, I've killed Skype, and I've rebooted twice. I've logged out and back in with my primary alias several times, but it still goes to the secondary.
One thing that might be of note is that the primary is a hotmail address, and the secondary is outlook.com, so it's possible it may be favouring the outlook, maybe?
Thanks for any help.

do you have actual Skype account/username, or sign up using your microsoft account?

Skype keeps history, but i turned off "save histor...

hello
why the HELL does Skype keep my message history, if i turned this function off?
For example: i have a dialogue on computer-based skype. And when re-open the skype on computer - there's no history OK.
BUT if i open skype on my cellphone and log in - it load the WHOOOOOOLE history of chat that it "missed" while being off.
So, if the user says "dont save my history" - why the hell you continue to save the history on your servers? Keeping a hand in the other people's pockets "just in case"?

hi
whn i log out after that also my user name is stored in user name area. i dont want it to be saved so that whn i log in again i dnt want my user name to be appeared there. can u tell me how to do it.??
thanks ..

Skype won't log out! (lets make them fix this!)

I can't find a valid post for this sort of thing, but it ends here & now.
There is no reason that is acceptable to the users of Skype, that should continue to allow it's program "Skype" to forcibly keep us logged in, be it as online, away or otherwise.
No, it is not acceptable to force us to have to go thru endless solutions to try an fix something that used to work correctly before microsoft took over Skype.
THE PROBLEM - Skype will not log us out & keep us logged out when we close the program on ANY platform.
THE SOLUTION - Microsoft/Skype & it's related staff/teams/coders/etc need to return this function to the way it was, & because of the era of smart phones an some users wanting to keep the silly function most of us hate an want gone, accept this idea additionally. Allow THOSE users the option of clicking their status to forever online, give it in the status menu or even somewhere in options but forcing the majority of us users to have to fight this battle is unacceptable!
Other notes:
[Your label system for making posts doesn't allow the proper tags as I know them to be, so I threw in all the ones you forcibly listed as I couldn't make this post any other way. Fix that crap too skype.]
I'm not going to read this post after this point, me the starting person. This is an effort to try an get the people who manage this program to take notice & do something acceptable to OUR demands NOT what they feel is a solution.
Perhaps a flame war will result, hate for my name, god knows such things are common place when someone tries to do something good, not to mention all the idiots who lack reading comprehension skills an cannot understand the posts as they are written vs what they "want to read".
I hope this gets the ball rolling for the intended solution, the users must rally to this cause or it will never happen, we will continue to be forced to "deal with it" an we shouldn't have to as some of us are CASH PAYING CUSTOMERS! an our demands should be taken more seriously otherwise we can/will/an should take our biz somewhere else as that is the only thing that seems to grab a stupid companies attention.
Have at it guys, make e'm work for the money they think they've earned!
Nothing to see here..

Hi, Waterdust, and welcome to the Community,
THE PROBLEM - Skype will not log us out & keep us logged out when we close the program on ANY platform.
The concept of "closing the program" seems to have changed or evolved with the increasing use of smart phones, combination smartphones and tablets called "phablets," and tablets, which if I recall sales trends correctly, have overtaken laptop and desktop sales. I have been either an observer of or a participant in Skype's on-line Community since approximately 2007-2008, in other words, before the current Community platform was launched in 2011. Over the years, many people have posted about their wish that when they clicked the "X" at the top right of the Skype for Windows software client, or the red dot in the Mac OS environment, that single-click action would a.) close the program, and b.) sign out of Skype.
I prefer the long-standing procedure of the two-step (one more click or tap does not phase me in the least) close and/or quit routine. I appreciated this on my Windows computers and laptops, and now even moreso on my BlackBerry devices (Q10 and Classic), iPhone 6, and iPad. I like the convenience of Skype running in the background while I use the handheld device for other tasks, as well as not having to worry about accidentally signing out of Skype.
Much to so many other posters' chagrin, Skype employed a two-step sign-out and program closure - long before Microsoft or even eBay entered the picture!
There is no reason that is acceptable to the users of Skype, that should continue to allow it's program "Skype" to forcibly keep us logged in, be it as online, away or otherwise.
If I understand correctly, what you are referring to is the "presence" or status setting problems: Online - Away - Invisible - Offline. For the sake of clarification only, this is technically not a problem with keep[ing] us logged in. I refer to this blog article and continuing discussion here: http://community.skype.com/t5/News-and-Announcements/UPDATED-Changes-to-your-Skype-online-status/ba-...
I confirm that when I set my status or presence setting to "Invisible" (or, "Offline") on all instances where I have Skype signed on (first click or tap), and then proceed to sign out (second click or tap) and close the software (third click or tap), I am logged out of the Skype service, and my status of Invisible shows this. I appreciate the status settings resolutions are apparently work-in-progress, and that it seems to have been a long time to settle this.
Looking forward to reading a thoughtful dialogue. Flame-throwing is neither necessary nor in the context of providing constructive feedback. Please, let us all keep this on-line community's Community Guidelines in mind as we continue this discussion.

Why won't Firefox keeped me logged in to anything after I close and reopen it?

When I was running an older version of Firefox, when I would close a firefox window and later reopen it, I would stay logged in to everything: facebook, hotmail, gmail with multiple sign in, etc. It would also reload all the tabs I had open without me having to click "restore previous session" I liked this as I could close the window, but keep everything that I was working on or wanted open in Firefox without having to pull it all up again. I have since upgraded to the newest version after installing a new hard drive (Windows 7 still), but whenever I close Firefox, I am logged out of everything and my previous tabs don't restore unless I click "restore previous session" (that still will keep me logged out of everything, even if I click it).
How do I set up Firefox to not log me out whenever I close the browser and to automatically restore my previous session?
browser.sessionstore.privacy_level is set to 0 and I do not have "Clear history when Firefox closes" checked.
Please help! Thanks!

There is also the browser.sessionstore.privacy_level_deferred pref that is used when you do not reopen the previous session automatically via "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and uses the same values.

I have unchecked clear active logins and everything to do with removing passwords and I still have to login to websites. How do I get this to keep me logged in on a few sites?

With Yahoo and Facebook, they have a box you can check to keep you logged in, but every time I close out my browser it is erased and I have to login all over again. I unchecked everything that has to do with erasing saved passwords, and active login information but it is still doing it. How do I get the browser to keep me logged in on the different websites that I would like it to remember?

I keep getting logged out of iCloud and iMessenger on my iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3

I keep getting logged out of iCloud and iMessenger on my iPhone 5s. I have iOS 8.1.3, I've logged out of everything, restarted, logged back in, I've fully erased and reset the phone, I've done everything every blog has suggested and it is still not working properly. I've even had to fully erase my iPad because it started acting as the primary device so I was not getting any messages on my iPhone. I did update my password a while ago but even after that the phone and iPad were working fine, then within the last few month's I've been dealing with this issue.
Please help, I've literally tried every fix everyone has suggested on this subject and nothing is working. I'm strongly tempted to change from an Apple device at this point.

Reset your phone - no data loss
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If that does not fix the problem - back up your phone to iTunes and restore as new
See if the problem is solved before you restore from backup or load any apps
Please post your results
