    Microsoft seems to have forgotten that my Minecraft account belongs to me


    I believe I migrated my Minecraft account correctly and linked it with my Microsoft profile. I was playing as recently as several hours ago with no issue. This morning I woke up and tried to log in but got an authentication error. I logged out and back into the launcher with my Microsoft account thinking maybe a token had expired or something and now when I try to launch Minecraft Java Edition it says I need to pick a username, and the username I have been using for a decade is already taken. What do I do?

    :)

    Hello Luke, thank you for reaching out! My name is Victor, I'm an Independent Advisor and member of the Microsoft Xbox Community like you. I hope you are having a good day despite this issue.

    I see you are having problems signing in on Minecraft, and even after attempting a sign-out sign-in refresh the issue persists. Let me inform you that many other users are also experiencing errors just like you (reset username, sign-in errors, failure to reach authentication services), and some of them also mentioned no troubleshooting steps worked.

    Examples:

    Altough there's no official confirmation yet, there appears to have been an unexpected downtime on Mojang's services, and this may have caused the login errors and username resets some users are facing. For now, I highly encourage you to reach out to Minecraft support directly to report this issue, and to request further help with your username if the problem persists:

    Thank you very much for your understanding, and please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. Take care!

    (Note: Keep in mind we are simply users of Xbox products and services trying to assist and guide other gamers here on the forums. I will try to respond as soon as possible if requested, so I appreciate your patience in case of any delays.

    The entirety of Minecraft as a whole is against me and Microsoft seems to have forgotten ive made an account

    Keep me posted buddy!

    Maybe you have the license on a different account, don't forget to sign in on both Microsoft Store and Xbox app every time you try with a different account

    **In some cases is necessary run the WSReset command before try with a different account, this helps to refresh all your content and licenses:

    Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.

    Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.

    Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    Did you already migrated your Mojang account to a Microsoft account?

    If yes, the Mojang account has a different email address from the Microsoft account you're using to download the game?

    Did you try putting that email address in the sign in with Microsoft button?

    Hope you're doing great today buddy

    About the last part, what do you mean?
    Are you receiving an error when try sign in with the account that owns the game now?

    If yes, which specific message are you receiving?

    Let's try fixing this first issue and then look further on the other

    I'll be waiting for your reply, greetings from another Microsoft user!
