Although Microsoft accounts are password-protected, they also have the potential of greater exposure outside of the enterprise. Additionally, if the owner of a Microsoft account is not easily distinguishable, auditing and forensics become more difficult. It is best practice to disable "Add and Login for Microsoft account" in enterprise or secure environments.
