    This is a critical must have feature. My User Story: I have a Microsoft account and my original email was exposed in multple data breaches. First thing I did with my Outlook email when I started getting all the spam and fishing emails was to create a new alias that I would only use to login to my account; I disabled login ability on all other email alaises. After that I was also able to make the new email alias my primary alias for the account while at the same time having a different default email alias for actually sending/recieving emails. This way my login email would never be used for email or as a login email for any other account. On top of that the Microsoft account system allowed me to delete my original email alias completly which then eliminated all the spam. Same thing happened to my parents and I helped with the same fix. In the past my story may have been at outlier case but today it is common for people to recive notifications from a service provider stating that their information has been leaked and that the email was part of that leak. If you match the MIcrosft Account capabilities that woould be ideal: disable/enable login on any email alias, make any email alias the primary alias, make any alias the default to send/recieve email indepent of primary alias, ability to delete any alias (even the original alias when account was created without impacting account overall status.)

    Adding my support and real-world use case... Due to my info being exposed in many data breaches I have abandoned several email addresses. On my MS Outlook account I am able to disable logging in with all but one email address. This email address is dedicated to the purpose of login and is never used for sending emails. This limits the risk of the login email being exposed in data breaches. My login email address does not contain my name or any other PII. As stated already, it would be ideal if logging in could be limited to the "user name" only and or 1 email address. Another way to say this is, I want the ability to disable use of any of my Proton email addresses for the purpose of logging into my Proton account. Hope this helps. Kind Regards, M.
