I would like to know if it's possible to see the login history on Office 365, and eventually the login attempts as well? Seems like the consumer version of Outlook has this but I can't find anything like it on 365.
Thanks.

Dec 19, 2016 Clear the Recent Search History. In the first place, you should exit Outlook properly. Then turn to the “Start Menu” and type “regedit” in the search box. The “regedit” program will show up. Click on it, and a new “Account Control” dialog box will pop up. You should hit “Yes” button in it.

Login history can be searched through Office 365 Security & Compliance Center. In the left pane, click Search & investigation, and then click Audit log search. Please notice that for User activity in Exchange Online (Exchange mailbox audit logging) you need to have mailbox audit logging turned on for each user. Please see Technet article Enable mailbox auditing in Office 365.
Office 365 Admin center Home > Usage > Email activity only shows the last activity time of every user and it doesn't report login failures.
If you have concerns about unauthorized logins, you could improve your security by setting up multi-factor authentication for your users. I recommend this at least for users that have administrative roles.

Yes, it's possible to see the login history on office 365. but its very tedious task.
Login operation is denoted by more than 10 events. Following are few of the known login events.
- UserLoggedIn
- UserLoginFailed
- PasswordLogonInitialAuthUsingPassword
- foreignrealmindexlogoncookiecopyusingdatoken
- foreignrealmindexlogoncookiecopyusingsha1remembermypassword
- foreignrealmindexlogoninitialauthusingadfsfederatedtoken
- passwordlogoncookiecopyusingdatoken
- passwordlogoninitialauthusingadfsfederatedtoken
- passwordlogonsilentreauthusingdatoken
To check the login success/failure cases, you need to verify the result status for the above operations.
Easy Solution:
You can try the AdminDroid Office 365 Auditing Tool to get the login activities either by report or through the visually appealing dashboards.

See screen snapshot below. When I open 'My Office' I don't want my history to show up. How to disable this 'feature'? Also, I don't want my document history copied to a cloud database on timelines.

I don't want my document history copied to a cloud database on timelines.
The document list displayed within My Office is not uploaded to the cloud. The document list within My Office is only generated, by the Recent document list of each Office application installed on your system. In order to remove a document from the Recent document list within My Office, you must remove the document, from the list of Recent documents of the applicable Office application. This requires starting Word, Excel, OneNote, and any other Office application you have recently opened.
In order to accomplish that, within the File, right-click a document and select 'Clear unpinned Documents' or 'Clear unpinned Workbooks' or 'Clear unpinned items' depending on the Office application. Once you have done that for each Office you have recently used, close My Office, and restart it.
This, by the way, is the only way to clear the list within My Office.
