Troubleshooting & F.A.Q

My student wants to use Nurture with another account but it keeps them logged into one account, even after manually logging out of Nurture on teams?

If your student is trying to log out of Nurture and log in using another account but it keeps them logged into the same account, the likely cause of this is they selected Yes when asked if they wanted to 'Stay Signed In' with their Microsoft Teams authentication the first time they logged into Nurture here :

This means they will remain logged into Nurture using that account each time they access it, even if they manually log out.

To fix this, the student must clear the cache of the Microsoft Teams app and log in again. If they select 'No' when asked if they want to stay signed in then they can easily swap between accounts on Nurture after this.
