    god i hate the constant “LOG INTO AN ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW” with passion. i once had to log into a coworkers teams account and apparently windows decided that’s good enough and automatically & without asking linked my entire local windows account with her work microsoft account

    one log in took hours to undo

    learnt my lesson - never log into microsoft through any of their apps, only ever use web based alternatives (and never on your main browser either, as sometimes logging out is just as painful as logging in)

      Android does pretty much the same thing with Google accounts.
