I am unsure if it is common, but it could be, for access to a specific app. Until today I was unaware I would be using an outlook email account to log onto my windows PC, and I am in the industry.

I accept responsibility for not writing down the creds, but the protocol of throwaway account creation for access to small tools and sites I believe is ingrained in a large percentage of internet users. I could be wrong.

I personally will spend more time taking care of new credentials now I have seen how they can be quickly linked to other aspects of my devices.
