Disconnect a provider
Go to Account › General › OIDC Providers and click Disconnect next to the provider.
You can't disconnect the only way you sign in. If a provider is your only sign-in method, it doesn't appear in the list with a Disconnect button. Set a password first in Account › Security, then come back. See Change your password.
If you signed in more than 15 minutes ago, Softalon may ask you to confirm it's you before it saves the change. See Change your password for what that screen looks like.
