Login is shown as login from Chrome in Microsoft account activity
The bug
Logging in with a Microsoft account in the launcher shows the launcher as Browser/app "Chrome" in the activity overview of the Microsoft account (https://account.live.com/Activity).
This is irritating and might make users think someone unauthorized accessed their account, or they might not take the activity protocol serious anymore.

Reproduction steps
- Log out of the launcher
- Log in with your Microsoft account
- Open https://account.live.com/Activity in the browser
It claims that you logged in with Chrome

Closing as Works as intended.
This issue is not a Launcher issue, but how MS store works.
