True... But it does seem to be different. If you don't click the "Stop signing in to all Microsoft apps automatically" link, that account under Email and Accounts seems to not have a dropdown... And it seems to activate settings sync and stuff unlike with Add and Remove accounts...

When I set up a new PC, I deliberately set it up to log in with a local account. When I later created a Microsoft account, Windows switched the login to use the Microsoft account without asking me. I couldn't even switch back because the Microsoft account password was a strong, 20-character password stored in my password manager that I couldn't get to without being able to log in. Moral: NEVER create a Microsoft account, or, if you do, create a trivial password for it and NEVER use it for anything important.
Terrible advice. You can reset password using MS account - you need a phone number as well. Anyway, just select to login and use a PIN!
