Minecraft Launcher doesn't allow me to change Microsoft account to log in.

Hi Adrien,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues logging in to Minecraft. Is there any error message that you can share?

If running the tool did not work on your situation, delete all Xbox and Microsoft from your credentials manager. There is a high possibility that your previous credentials are saved in your cache and being used automatically.

Credential Manager lets you view and delete your saved credentials for signing in to websites, connected applications, and networks.

Click on Start > Search for Credential manager > Windows credentials. Search for Xbl|DeviceKey, click on it and then Remove. Also, remove all the XblGrts and XboxLive credentials.

Alvaro

When I click buy from the Minecraft launcher it takes me to this website https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-edition?ref=Launcher I'm not logged in and it has the option to purchase Minecraft but after logging in to the that website with same Microsoft account that I had logged into the Minecraft launcher with the purchase option is replaced with Already own Minecraft? Download it again. and the launcher download button.

Hey,

This is not about the website, this happens only when I start minecraft launcher;

I get the screen asking me to choose an account I already logged on or another account

When I select my microsoft account it displays the error I mentioned.

Also if that can help identify the problem, I installed the minecraft launcher from minecraft.net as the one from microsoft store doesn't work as well. (sais it can't update the launcher)

I did I used the same email but when it brings me to the launcher it has a different username and says play demo because that account doesn't own minecraft it uses my xbox/microsoft account instead of my mojang account and when I try to change to my mojang account it says "Something went wrong in the log in process."

Hi there Racca R.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues with your Minecraft launcher token.

The token you deleted is likely a session token used by the Minecraft launcher to authenticate your account without requiring you to log in every time. Deleting this token means the launcher can't verify your credentials automatically, which is why you're unable to play.

The simplest solution is to reauthenticate your account by logging in again. Here's how to do it:

Open the Minecraft Launcher: Start the Minecraft launcher you usually use.
Log Out: If you're not already logged out, log out from your current session. You can usually find this option in the launcher settings or by clicking on your profile icon.
Log In Again: Enter your Minecraft (Mojang/Microsoft) account email and password. This will generate a new session token, allowing you to play the game.

Ensure that you have the correct email and password for your Minecraft account. If you've forgotten your password, you can reset it:

Mojang Accounts: Go to the Mojang account login page and use the "Forgot Password" feature.
Microsoft Accounts: If you’ve migrated to a Microsoft account, go to the Microsoft account login page and use the "Forgot Password" feature.

Ensure that your Minecraft launcher is up-to-date. Sometimes, outdated software can cause authentication issues. You can download the latest version of the launcher from the official Minecraft website.

You can also reinstall the launcher.

I hope this helps!

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie
