I love what Phind has done in this matter & at the same time I hate what Microsoft has done with Minecraft.
Phind lets you authenticate ONLY with GitHub (even though they don't really use any other github features). It's beautifully elegant solution. No need to maintain security of accounts, Microsoft will do it for you. Phind is already geared towards soft devs, so which dev doesn't have a GitHub account. And even IF a potential user doesn't have the GitHub account, making a GitHub account is free and painless. JOB DONE.
At the same time, Minecraft players had the Microsoft store versions & accounts forced down their throats, by complete removal of old Mojang accounts if the user failed to transfer their account. In result, alot of old tools just failed to work without old foxm of auth. There are still plenty of places where a normal login prompt is shown, which requires Microsoft account credentials, but it is not said so, anywhere. In result, people like me get stressed, why the noted credentials tagged Minecraft don't work. (Its because the login prompt just leads to the Microsoft store, where you need to fingure out, to which Microsoft account you've attached the license. UGH!)
There are so many stories about bothed credentials management, security & inconvenieet implementations, that one could write a whole wiki on this topic.
