What happens when you link your Office Timeline account with Microsoft or Google?

Overview 

When you log in to Office Timeline using your Microsoft or Google account (by selecting "Continue with Microsoft" or "Continue with Google"), your accounts are connected. This allows you to access Office Timeline and manage your account using your Microsoft or Google credentials. This article explains how account linking works and answers common questions.

Understanding account linking

  1. Connecting your Office Timeline account with Microsoft or Google allows you to sign in using those credentials. We do not receive or store your account passwords, nor do we have access to your Microsoft or Google products.
  2. If you originally signed up to Office Timeline with a local account (using a standalone Office Timeline password), linking that account with Microsoft or Google will not replace your existing login credentials. You can choose to sign in either with your local Office Timeline password or with your connected account.
  3. If you have a local Office Timeline account and want to link it with Microsoft or Google, select "Continue with Microsoft" or "Continue with Google" when logging in — and make sure to pick the account that has the same email address as the one you use for Office Timeline. This is especially important if a license is assigned to your account, as your license is tied to your email address.

Frequently Asked Questions 

How can I unlink my account from Office Timeline?

You can unlink your account by changing your email address from your Account Settings. When you change the email associated with your Office Timeline account, the link with Microsoft or Google is broken, as it relies on the original address you used to sign in. Learn more about what changing your email involves.

If you wish to unlink your account due to leaving your company, make the change while you still have access to your Microsoft or Google inbox. We will send a confirmation code there for security purposes before updating your account.

Can I relink Office Timeline to a different Microsoft or Google account?

Yes. Go to Account Settings and change your email address to the one associated with the account you want to link. Then, on your next login, choose "Continue with Microsoft" or "Continue with Google" to relink your account with Office Timeline.

What if I forget my Microsoft or Google password?

If you originally signed up to Office Timeline with a local account (using a standalone Office Timeline password), you can log in locally instead of through Microsoft or Google. If you don't have a local Office Timeline password, you'll need to reset your password through Microsoft or Google's own account recovery process.
