Microsoft Account connected apps management

Why is there no visible “Connected apps” management page in Microsoft Account?

 

I noticed that third-party applications connected to a personal Microsoft account can be managed at:

https://account.live.com/consent/Manage

 

However, I cannot find any obvious navigation path to this page from the main Microsoft Account portal:

 

https://account.microsoft.com/

 

The main account portal provides sections such as Security, Privacy, Devices, Subscriptions, and Your info, but there does not appear to be a visible “Connected apps”, “Apps and services”, or “App permissions” entry.

 

I only discovered the consent management page after receiving a Microsoft security notification that a new application had been granted access to my Microsoft account. The “Manage your apps” button in that email links to the older account.live.com consent page.

 

This creates two usability and security concerns:

 

Users may not know where to review or revoke third-party OAuth permissions unless they still have the original security notification email.

Microsoft Account management currently uses both microsoft.com and live.com domains, which can be confusing for users trying to verify whether an account-management page is an official Microsoft page.

 

Would it be possible to add a visible “Connected apps”, “Apps and services”, or “App permissions” entry under Security or Privacy in account.microsoft.com?

 

This would not require redesigning the existing consent system. Even a simple link from account.microsoft.com to the existing account.live.com/consent/Manage page would make third-party permission management much easier to discover.

 

Is there currently an official navigation path to this page that I may have missed?
