myPortal & Cougarmail
In case you have multiple accounts, it may be due to having saved multiple Outlook/Azure emails or accounts on your device.
This could be because you have different emails associated with various schools, institutions, or workplaces.
myPortal

1.1) This action will trigger a drop-down menu, where you can find the option to log out towards the bottom.
2. To switch between accounts saved on your device or browser, click on the account that you want to log into.
2.1) Depending on the authentication process, you may be required to re-log in when toggling between accounts.

(this may not have the college logo if you haven't signed in yet).
