alias sync account
HotCakeX yes i know, but why opening 50 users if i can just open 5 user and use 10 alias/user to sync such data. they just need to sync 10 different setting, based on the alias i use. at the moment is like google, where they ask 1 account for each bookmarks and then they complain about the amount of accounts, by disabling some accounts (is not the first time). an alias based sync would help and avoid microsoft to have to many accounts only used for bookmark sync.
Yes indeed why would someone create a lot of aliases on their Outlook and then expect them to work as a separate Microsoft account?
Google? they don't let you create aliases, so i don't know how it is better than a Microsoft account!
you just have to remember that aliases are only, and only, for Outlook Emails, nothing else. they are Not a separate Microsoft account.
Outlook.com lets you have multiple aliases associated with a single account, and you can choose which email address you send email from. Creating alternate addresses to use on websites or apps that force you to register can help keep your personal email address out of the hands of marketers and hackers.
that is the primary use of Outlook email aliases. so don't confuse them with Microsoft accounts. Google does Not offer this feature to its users.
you can create as many Microsoft accounts as you want/need.
Add or remove an email alias in Outlook.com - Outlook (microsoft.com)
HotCakeX seems the answer was not saved, so i copy it again.

i never said google is better, since i said that with google i need to use every chrome sync account with another google account.
PS: is still possible with google, but works really bad (or at least no gsuite related). you need to write email+alias@gmail.com (so +xxx after the email).
i know that alias are email related. but at the end every alias has a name like a real account, so i think devs should be able to save edge bookmarks of a@outlook.it, b@outlook.it to my one drive aliasaccount@outlook.it which contain my alias a@, b@....
do you understand what i mean. it's something related to email, but edge could use it too. at the end edge sync account is not related to edge browsing account, like i reported in another post and if you are always the admin, it doesn't make any difference if microsoft store such data using 5 accounts or 1 account with 5 alias, at the end your are the admin.
second reason is because microsoft limit a lot the amount of account that can be created and verified once created with the same phone numbers. so opening for example 50 accounts is possible, but not easy (especially for people that don't own 30-40 sim numbers like me).
to be correct there is another reason why this would be better too. in such case an user buy an extension for user aliasaccount@ and he can use this extension on the bookmark account mailto:a@, mailto:b@, mailto:c@....
now for example with google you need to stop sync to use your paid extension on all 50 chrome profile. this is why i suggested to separate chrome account from store account. with microsoft i don't have idea, because until now i never bought an extension. maybe there is the same problem, maybe not.
PS: if the problem about store and sync account is available in microsoft too, this alias bookmarks account would only fix if you use 10 accounts. if you use 50+ bookmarks acccouts then is necessary to offer a separate sync and store account inside edge.
Paid extensions are depreciated. Google removed the ability to publish any new paid extensions on their store and will soon remove the existing ones from the store as well.
Chrome Web Store payments deprecation - Google Chrome
Microsoft extension store also has no paid extensions. so the whole idea is going away.
I don't know what you mean by bookmarks account, a bit hard to understand.
