TFS changedset's author name is not the one who created it

I'm starting to study TFS version control. I have added one member in my project and that member just checked-in newly created class and edited some code. My question is why his name does not reflect on the change-set? It is always my name displayed for all the changesets even if the member is actually the one who created/checked-in the code.

Please see below image

Kiko Coder is not the one who checked-in those changedsets but my team member.

Below is the screenshot of my team member when he logged in to his account enter image description here

When he open the project in ocisnarf89.visualstudio.com(Member), after he checkedin the code/new file it doesn't reflect his name but the name Kiko Coder which is me.

It's most likely your team member connected to TFS using your account. If so, then any operation is recorded with your ID info.

Please double check no matter the web portal and VS. Make sure they are using their own account. You could find the account info in Windows-Control Panel- Credential Manager. How to delete the stored account and related cache, please refer this question TFS Related: Why is it required to login to VPN even when I am logged into to office network

Update:

For TFS you can't swith user directly.

First of all, I'd like to thank all who gave me an idea. For my question above, I found out that the VS cached the microsoft account that I used and even if I opened the project from the web portal using the team member acount and successfully opened the project but still the account connected in TFS (from VS) is the owner (previously signed-in account) and not the team member account.

To resolve this, sign-in in VS, then on Team Explorer tab, click Connect | NameOfMyProject then click Project and My Terms then click Connect to Team Projects there will be a pop-up window where you will select the project to connect to, on the lower left corner click "Switch User" and that's it!

I am now able to see the team member name reflected on changed sets.
