That's the WTF for me here. I don't store anything valuable on the Windows 8 PC I run at home, but when I set it up, I remember feeling quite uneasy about the way the Microsoft account and the local user login apparently are one and the same. I assumed that surely it's just convenience and gaining access to the MS account isn't sufficient to give access to my PC - that would be insane, right?
Is this being reported correctly? This sounds completely nuts.
- chillwaves 10y agoYou can create a local account independent of the MS network, they just make that option partially obscured.
