I can't access my old Minecraft account – new account created instead

Hello Walker R, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

If you purchased an Xbox and entering your email created a completely new account instead of accessing your old account, an error may have occurred during the setup process. There are a few possible explanations for this:

You may have entered a slightly different email than your old account, leading to the creation of a new account instead of accessing the existing one. Make sure you correctly enter the email associated with your old account when setting up your new Xbox.

Previous account unlinked If your previous account was linked to a different Xbox console and there was no proper process to unlink it, it is possible that the new Xbox created a new account instead of accessing the old one. In this case, you should try contacting Xbox support to help you resolve the issue and regain access to your old account.

Account setup on Xbox During the initial setup of your Xbox, you may have selected the option to create a new account instead of accessing an existing one. This may have happened if the option to sign in with an existing account was skipped or not selected. If this is the case, you can try adjusting your account settings on your Xbox to access your old account or link it correctly.

In any case, I would recommend that you contact Xbox support for personalized assistance and resolve the issue properly.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.

I created a new account, verified that all of the privacy settings were correct, and signed into minecraft with that account, which is under the name "". however, a new issue arises. with that account, i only have access to the demo version of minecraft, and cannot log onto a multiplayer server to test the chat feature as a result. is there a way for me to transfer my old mojang character over to a new microsoft account?

Well, I don't need to change my gamertag for my new (accidentally) created account. I just need to log back into my old xbox account.

And if I try to use my old gamertag, it says that it's already used. Trying to add a # makes it say that I need to have 12 characters or less.

My email doesn't access 2 accounts, it only accesses the new one and I can't log back into my old one.

so there is no way I can't access my migrated minecraft account (I don't remember the email that was created when the account was migrated, only the original email used for the creation of the minecraft account)?

I lost my old email and can’t unlink my minecraft ps5 account because I don’t have access to it

Unfortunately theres nothing that can be done about that because Sony only lets you link a single Microsoft account to your PSN for Minecraft.

Even if you could unlink the old Microsoft account, Sony wont let you link a different one.

The only option is to create a brand new PSN account and link a new Microsoft account to that.
