  • Sure doesnt sound like that to me.

    A backdoor is a typically covert method of bypassing normal authentication or encryption in a computer, product, embedded device (e.g. a home router), or its embodiment

    Not very covert if it is offered to a user.If MS gives up the key that is stored plainly in their system, that is a problem. But not a backdoor.This is quite literally the police knocking on the front door and demanding the key.

    1. section: "Erstellen eines Benutzerkontos"Third step, option C

    Wenn Sie die Option Ich habe keine Anmeldeinformationen für diese Person auswählen, können Sie sich für eine neue E-Mail-Adresse registrieren und ein neues Microsoft-Konto erstellen. Wenn Sie ein lokales Konto erstellen möchten, wählen Sie die Option Benutzer ohne Microsoft-Konto hinzufügen aus.

    Is it made easy for the average user?Absolutely not.

    Is it impossible?No.

  • The keys were very likely uploaded to the linked MS-account.This is communicated as a backup in case you loose the key.

    Breach of trust? YepBackdoor? Not very much.

  • I went one step further and use my own domain where I can freely choose my hosting provider.

    So far I havent had an issue with sites accepting my domain (and it's not a very common one to start with).The only issue I have faced so far is with some sites seemingly unable to fathom how one would want to switch their email.Looking at you IoI Interactive
