Trying to log into minecraft launcher and it gives me no other option but to login to my...

Hi Josef,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes. I have tried both accounts (old Mojang and new Microsoft) to log in on the launcher. Also for both on a fresh install of the launcher. When trying to login on the launcher with my old Mojang account, I get the notification that it has been migrated to my Microsoft one. And logging in with the Microsoft account gives the demo only option.

Next, I checked on my Microsoft account, and there I found that I only have the option to buy a new copy of Minecraft.

It's definitely concerning that the Minecraft launcher isn't showing your correct Microsoft account when you try to log in. This could be due to several reasons, so let's explore some troubleshooting options:

Verify your Microsoft Account Credentials:

Double-check the email address and password you're entering for your Microsoft account.

Make sure you're using the correct Microsoft account associated with your Minecraft license.

If you have multiple Microsoft accounts, ensure you're selecting the correct one in the login window.

Check for Cached Data:

Sometimes, cached data can interfere with the login process.

Try resetting the Minecraft launcher by following these steps:

Close the Minecraft launcher completely.
Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.

Type %appdata% and press Enter.
Navigate to the ".minecraft" folder and delete the "launcher_accounts.json" file.
This will clear your cached login information.

Restart the Minecraft launcher and try logging in again.

Update the Minecraft Launcher:

Ensure you're using the latest version of the Minecraft launcher.

Outdated versions may contain bugs that cause login issues.
Open the Minecraft launcher and go to Settings.

Click on "Installations" and then "New Installation".

Select the latest version of Minecraft and click "Create".

Once the installation is complete, try logging in again.

Sign Out and Sign In Again:

If you're logged into your Microsoft account on other devices, try signing out and signing back in.
This can sometimes refresh your account information and resolve the issue.

Additional Tips:

Ensure you have a stable internet connection.

Disable any VPN or antivirus software that might be interfering with the login process.

Consider checking for any known server outages or maintenance periods affecting Minecraft logins.

I really hope your problem has been fixed with my help, if it works let me know and have a nice day. Oskayra

Hi pez_dispenser25! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Open the Minecraft launcher please, in the log in screen select go back and then press in the Microsoft login option, after this use the email and password you migrated your Mojang account to instead of the old Mojang login information
