    If a computer, phone or browser that holds your practice key is lost or stolen, mark it Lost or stolen. It is refused from that moment, and your practice key changes so nothing written afterwards opens on it.

    Settings, Devices in Olive Grove online with the question Office PC: lost or stolen?, saying what will change and what is kept, an I understand tick, Keep it first, and Remove the device waiting for the tick.

    Where: Settings > Devices > Lost or stolen, or Your account > Computers

    1. Step 1: On any device you still have, open Settings, then Devices. If you have none at hand, use your account page: signed in, it can mark a device lost or stolen on its own.

    2. Step 2: Choose Lost or stolen beside the device. Read what will change and what is kept.

    3. Step 3: Tick I understand, then choose Remove the device. The safer choice, Keep it, comes first.
