I 'Unlink' OneDrive when I'm away on holiday to protect my documents in case my computer is stolen. But when I return to sign in, my email address is automatically filled in the sign-in box. I click "Next," expecting to be asked for my password, but I'm automatically signs in. I want to prevent this from happening. I've looked online for answers which always shows a different version of Settings that I can see and give further options, such as:
Open OneDrive.
  1. Click the gear icon in the top right corner of the window.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. In the Account tab, uncheck the box next to Remember my sign-in info on this device.
  4. Click Save.
My version of Settings does not give me this option.onedrive.png

See if removing this login helps. Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Credential Manager\Windows Credentials\Onedrive cached credential

Using a pin to login is also recommended if one is concerned about security as well as using 2 step verification. You can also utilize your personal vault in onedrive to store sensitive information. Personal Vault: Store Sensitive Files – Microsoft OneDrive
