"In addition to including Microsoft account support in its Windows Phone app, Skype today also started letting new users signing up on Skype.com to register with a Microsoft account (in addition to a Facebook account). Here are the advantages of doing so, according to the Microsoft-owned company:\r\n\r\n\r\nLess to remember with just one email address to sign in to Skype and your other services: just click on the Microsoft account button to sign in with your email address and password.\r\nEnhanced password recovery experience, so you can now easily reset your password by receiving a security code sent by SMS or email.\r\nOptional two-step verification to help keep your account more secure.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat Skype doesn't mention, of course, is that if your Microsoft account is compromised, so is your Skype login. Turning on two-step verification, as noted in the third point above, is particularly important if you're going use one account for multiple services.\r\n\r\nSee also - It's confirmed.
