This is the recommended advice on the matter:

If you've already linked a Microsoft Account to Skype, then you'll need to "update" your Skype account to ensure it's fully merged over at Microsoft's account page. Here are the steps:

1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com, if you're already signed in, sign out.

2. Enter your Skype name, not your Microsoft Account email address, and use your Skype password to sign-in.

3. If you've linked your Microsoft Account previously, you'll be prompted to sign-in and merge the accounts to create a Skype alias.

Once the two accounts are properly merged, Microsoft creates a Skype alias to let you keep signing in with a Skype username. You can continue using this or disable it under the aliases preferences, to ensure nobody can try to sign in with your Skype username. Either way, you won't be able to use your old Skype password anymore, and attackers will have to know the email address associated with your account.

This entire process seems messy, but it appears to be the best way to secure your Microsoft account. If you've already linked a Skype username then I would suggest doing this extra merge process immediately, to secure your account. If you haven't linked Skype and Microsoft Accounts at all, then you should be safe to link and merge with the new process.
