← Measured in the wild

login.live.com

classified as first-party · 2

This page aggregates measured, corroborated evidence: donors' iPhones recorded apps contacting this domain, every claim below was reported by separate accepted donations and published under a human verdict (later rows for an approved app inherit its verdict). A contact is a measurement, not an accusation — it does not show what data was sent.

What our research panel found AI-drafted · human-reviewed

We ask several independent AI models the same question and publish their answers separately — cross-vendor agreement is evidence against fabrication, and disagreement is worth seeing. 3 of 3 models answered, overall confidence high. A human reviewed this domain's claims before anything here published.

Anthropic Claude — first-party

login.live.com is Microsoft's own consumer identity/authentication endpoint (Microsoft Account sign-in), so for Microsoft Authenticator it is a first-party contact serving the app's core purpose. First-party authentication traffic is expected functionality rather than a data flow to a third party, so the declared label's omission of it does not indicate an undisclosed flow.

OpenAI — first-party

login.live.com is a Microsoft login domain and is plausibly used for Microsoft Authenticator account authentication. The provided label information does not establish that this contact transmits a data type outside the declared categories.

Google Gemini — first-party

login.live.com is Microsoft's primary consumer authentication service, making this core first-party traffic for Microsoft Authenticator.

Think something here is wrong?

Evidence and research improve when people push back. Tell us what to re-check — a misattributed domain, an outdated classification, a claim about your own app — and a human will review it. Responses can take up to 30 days.

If you leave an email it is encrypted at rest and opened only to answer you — never shared, never used for anything else. It is erased 30 days after we resolve this (or 180 days if it is still open) without you asking, and you can erase it sooner at any time; either way your correction stays, anonymously. Leave it blank and your request is fully anonymous from the start (we store no IP address either way).
