  1. Can I sign into a browser Microsoft sign-in with an account other than the profile account?


    I have a preexisting Minecraft account linked to my grandfather's Microsoft account (I migrated when I didn't have my own account since I was too young to have one). Now I am trying to install Minecraft on a computer with my new account as the profile. However, the Minecraft website's login is using my profile email and not giving me an option use the Minecraft account email. I'm wondering if one of these options is possible:

    1. Using the preexisting account email
    2. Changing the Minecraft account's linked Microsoft account to my new account
    I attempted to add an image here but it would not upload.

    :)

    I have resolved this issue myself. I had to install the launcher through the Store and login there.

    so today i tried playing forza horizon 4 and it logged me in to one of my random accounts that i just have.

    On the computer, the game uses the Xbox profile that is signed into the Xbox app, but it can cause issues if the account that is signed into the Microsoft store is different than the one signed into the Xbox app.

    So, please check if your Microsoft store account and the Xbox app account are the same and they are your main account. If possible, sign out of both apps, then sign in again.

    Profile Protection Issues

    Thanks for the idea, but weirdly, I can still sign in. This is what was sent to me in an email 'The issue stems from a suspension on your Microsoft Account.' But I can still sign into my Microsoft account, so where's the suspension come from, obviously other
    than than the not being able to sign into my Xbox Account after giving the Windows Live Password.

    Microsoft Points Transfer

    Hello, EvanVL. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    If the Microsoft account that is signed in your browser is different than the Microsoft account where your Xbox profile is at, then unfortunately no. Nothing can be transferred between accounts.

    If they are the same account, you can use these reward points to get yourself Xbox gift cards, games or other offers for Xbox without any issue.

    Feel free to ask back any questions.
