The Other devices list

Here you'll find a list of your other devices that are signed into Microsoft Defender, and possibly the devices of family members who have chosen to share their security status with you.

You can see if there are any pending alerts on those devices and the last time their security status was updated.

Important: If any of the devices on the list show an alert, or that a key protection is turned off, you'll need to sign in on that affected device - or contact the user of that device, if it belongs to a family member - to take action on those alerts.

Any device that hasn't been signed into in the last 90 days will automatically be removed from this list. For more information on manually removing devices from the list see Removing devices from your Microsoft Defender dashboard.
