"Microsoft has announced that it will replace linked accounts on outlook.com with aliases. The company will start unlinking accounts in late July, and is informing existing users about aliases which it says is &amp;quot;more robust and secure&amp;quot;.  Linked accounts were introduced in 2006 to allow users to switch between different accounts, each carrying their own email address and login details. Most use more than one account to organise mail or to send junk mail to a separate inbox. However, Microsoft claims secondary accounts rarely receive password updates by users, putting primary accounts at greater risk from malicious activity. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve designed aliases to make it easy to have multiple email addresses (for receiving and sending) connected to a single Microsoft account,&amp;quot; said Microsoft&amp;#039;s group program manager Eric Doerr. &amp;quot;That means that you want to have one Microsoft account that lets you light up your Microsoft devices and services with your stuff: your gamer score, your email inboxes, your calendars, your people, and your files, as well as to connect to all the networks you care about.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
