Hi, yezss

To sign out of sharepoint/googledrive, you simply need to click the "X" in the corner of all instances of that account:

Then Restart the application. After a restart when the account no longer exists, we remove the login token and you will need to sign-in once again.

Hi, yezss

That method would ensure that our application no longer keeps the login token. With that said, it is possible that Widnows itself has recorded this password and is automatically providing it to us when we contact the sharepoint site. To ensure this is not happening, first remove the place and close our Editor. then do the following.
1. Open the "Control panel"
2. navigate to the "credential manager"
3. two headers will appear "web credentials" and "windows credentials" Check for any sharepoint credentials under BOTH of these headers, and remove them is present.

At this point, you can relaunch the Editor to see if the credentials have properly been removed. If they have, you are good to go. If they still have not, close the Editor again, and continue with the following.

4. Now return to the main control panel page, and enter the "internet options"
5. On the "general" tab of the internet options, look under "browsing history" and click "delete..."
6. In the "delete browsing history" window that appears, check off "passwords", and then click "delete"**
**Note that this will remove all stored passwords within your windows web browser history. Third party browsers, such as Google Chrome and firefox may be unaffected, but if you use Internet explorer, or MS Edge, you may need to sign in to all of your accounts again.
