  1. I need help to recover my Minecraft account


    So I’m trying to clear out my junk accounts, so I ditched some old email addresses and an old Microsoft account. Like an idiot, I didn’t realise that Microsoft account was linked to my Minecraft Java Edition. So, now I don’t have the recovery email for that account either. That Java Edition was purchased through a gift code, so I could provide that in an attempt to restore my account, but I cannot find a contact email. I’ve also got the login details for the associated Microsoft account. I don’t know what to do, I use that Minecraft account a lot, and it’s really important I recover it. Can anyone help?

    :)

    Good evening Manuela,

    When I fill out that, It forces me to put a email but i created a new account with the email that was hacked since the old account the details got changed (email and password). Adding on, i've been trying the follow up call from support for a few days and it tells me:

    'We’re unable to process your request for a call back. Please try again later.'

    Kind regards,

    Pablo Sánchez

    Hello Pablo, this is Manuela. I'm an Independent Advisor and community user like you, ready to assist with this.
    Not a Microsoft employee.

    I'm sorry to hear that your account has been compromised. You can try to recover the account by following some methods provided by the Microsoft interactive guide below:
    https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/h...

    If none of the methods provided there worked, I'm afraid to say that's not possible to recover the account :(

    As a reminder, please notice that no one at Microsoft can view or change the account details for you, this is for security policies

    I need help to recover my Minecraft account

    Hi Jordan! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft account.

    I just want to clarify, do you mean you have forgotten/don't have access to the email address associated with your Microsoft/Minecraft account, is that correct?

    If yes, to recover a Microsoft account that is linked to your Minecraft, you will need to know the email address associated with it. In this case, the only option you have is to perform the following workarounds to locate the email address linked to your Microsoft/Minecraft account according to the official Xbox website: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-profile/manage-account/forgot-microsoft-account-solution

    "Go to xbox.com and try signing in with the email address that you think is associated with your Microsoft account.

    If you can sign in, the email address and password you entered are valid. The gamertag that’s associated with this email address will be displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen.

    If you can’t sign in, check your other email inboxes for messages about your Xbox subscription or Xbox offers. This may help you determine which email address is associated with your Xbox profile.

    Note: Think back to when you created your Microsoft account. Were you using a different internet service provider for email at the time?

    If you’re part of an Xbox family group, have an organizer (adult account) look up your account info with the Xbox Family Settings app.

    Note: This step only works if you’re set as a member of the Xbox family group. Organizers can’t review the account info of other organizers in a group.

    Steps for the organizer:

    Open the Xbox Family Settings app on their mobile device.
    Choose the member whose account info isn’t known.
    Select the Info bubble next to the user’s gamertag.
    Review the info under Account email for the Microsoft account that’s associated with their Xbox profile."

    If you're able to locate the email address of your account, you can proceed with recovering it through the account recovery webform:

    https://account.live.com/acsr

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl

    I need help To recover my minecraft account

    Hello Pablo,

    I would like to let you know that creating a new account by using the old email doesn't restore your progress and purchases.

    Unfortunately, no one at Microsoft can make account changes. You can try opening a chat with the by clicking the “Contact support” available at the bottom of the Interactive guide. But you're going to receive the same recommendations I shared.
