Share with specific people
I am trying to figure out what seems to be a contradiction in Microsoft's documentation with regard to "Share to specific people".
To track access and ensure security, you can only share with someone who is in your organization or has a Microsoft Account.
The recipients won't need a Microsoft account.
Is there a difference in the two scenarios which I don't recognize? Or is this a recent change where one of the two documentations has not been properly updated yet?

- MikeWWWIron ContributorIf you don't need to track access then you can use an anonymous link wherel the recipients don't need to register their account with Microsoft.
- The second article is referring to the new "email OTP" functionality, as detailed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/external-identities/one-time-passcode
It's a fairly recent addition, so I suppose they haven't updated the first one just yet.
