Windows 10: Why can't I log into Microsoft Store with personal account?

When I try to log in to the Microsoft Store it says that I can only sign in with work or school account. How can I log in with my personal account?

App store and Microsoft account

Thank you for the advice

I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

Bullshit. 2 step verification and purchase orders requires an account of course, but virtually everything else can be performed with local data storage in the browser. Companies don't want to do this of course, but it is possible.
