I hear you.

I was pulling my hair out the other day trying to find my Microsoft credentials in LastPass. I was searching for "microsoft", "office", "outlook" etc. until I finally found them under "live.com".

I also have an @live.com email. I think "live" was one of Microsoft's many failed services rebrands. Remember windows live messenger, windows live photo gallery? Lol

And before that, the grandiose ".Net passport"

Microsoft's account system has had at least five different names; it's just "Microsoft account" right now, but it'll likely be called something different in a year or two the next time Microsoft does one of their gigantic "rebrand all the things" purges.
