My best guess is this question could be about something linguistic, but it's also technical about online accounts and email addresses.
One can choose to let's say, create a Microsoft account, use a "third-party" email address and therefore not create the MS account to have an outlook.com address. This way, person does not have an outlook.com email address. When person signs into MS account, he uses his third part email address and his M.S. password.
This "third party" email address would be often something from GMail or AOL or Yahoo or PROTON,... or something.
Why is this called "third-party"? Then, who or what or which are "second-party" and "first-party"?
