Windows 10: Microsoft Account login at non-Microsoft sites

Occasionally I see the option to login to a non-Microsoft site using my Microsoft account. Typically, there are other options such as Google, Apple, etc.Does Microsoft have an official position on the security of using one's login credentials at non-Microsoft sites?

Windows 8 with 2 Microsoft accounts?

Yea, I would create a local account and just use your school account to login to Outlook and Onedrive.

Edit:
Here switch between local and microsoft account.

 

MICROSOFT ACCOUNT LOGIN

Hi Arbaaz,



Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

In order to help you better, could you please confirm a couple of things:

• Are you able to login with Microsoft account in web?
• What happens exactly when you try to login using Microsoft account?

I suggest you to login to Microsoft account through online login.live.com, if you are able to login to Microsoft account on web then you can reset the password and then try to login and check if the issue persists.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
