******@accountprotection.microsoft.com. Is this a legit email for Microsoft?

I got this email and I am afraid to click the link and I don't want anyone linked to my account as the email says, so I need to know if it is a scam and not to click the link or if it is real and to click the link to remove the person, see their email below. I don't want Hearst Magazines connected to my account. As you can see there is a link called 'Manage your apps' that I am supposed to click to get rid of Hearst Magazines so I need to know if the sender was from Microsoft or if it is a scam?

    I got this notice too. But when I go to Manage My Apps" there is no "Hearst Magazine" listed.

    Hi, I'm Diane and I'm happy to help you today.

    The forum removed the address example, but based on the rest of the message, it appears to be legitimate.

    This is the link: https://account.live.com/consent/Manage?fn=email

    Let me know how it goes, I'm here to help you further if needed.

    -- Diane
