Of course, all those who are already Skype users can still benefit from great features thanks to a Microsoft account, including two-step verification to make sure that all their information is fully protected, enhanced password recovery experience to reset passwords using codes sent by SMS or email and less details to remember since the first credentials can be used to log in to all Microsoft services.

Redmond-based software giant Microsoft today announced several new improvements for Skype users relying on a Microsoft account to chat with friends, claiming that the whole experience can be a lot better if they decide to use the same credentials for all their services.
