As another reference point, I saw this sort of a difference in the process of signing up for two Minecraft accounts in the household: One before Microsoft took over, one after.

I recognized at the time of the second one that they were doing it the "right" but more complicated way @darius alludes to above.

(ObFOSS: Haven't played Minecraft since I learned Mineclone 2 in Minetest is a thing)
