a few days ago my old microsoft account got hacked and i lost complete access to it. i had minecraft on that account. so i bought a new one and also bought minecraft on that new account. when i try to log in to the launcher, it automatically links back to my old account (which i dont have access to) and doesnt give me an option to switch accounts. please help.

Hey Nicholas, sorry you had trouble with your previous account. I understand you are having trouble logging into your new account with the launcher.

First, try to use the instructions on this page for logging out of the launcher:

https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/36...

After that, you should be able to log in with your new Microsoft account. If it still auto-logs in, try clearing the launcher cache or reinstalling it.

Hope that helps!

Search for ''Minecraft Launcher'' in the Xbox app, install, log in with your Microsoft account on the launcher, select Minecraft For Windows and install.

I'm still logged into the Minecraft launcher on another computer. Is it possible to use that to recover it?

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.
