There are two modes to MS Teams. 1. Personal 2. Corporate In both cases, it uses features from SHarePoint and Exchange to allow file sharing. and scheduling. When I set up a [personal account, it prompted me for my GITHUB/MS account information. Perhaps your email is associated with outlook.com <http://outlook.com/> or another MS based mail service? That is the only reason, I can think of to provide your e-mail password to Teams. I would have expected Microsoft to be more clear on this, since getting access to an eMail is an easy way to get access to a change password process for a significant number of accounts.
