    Can I sign into a different Microsoft account than the one I'm signed into?


    Would it be possible to sign into a different Microsoft account than the one I'm signed into? In other words, since that's a bit confusing, can I get Minecraft for Xbox while being logged into one account. Then in Minecraft, switch to another account? I have a Microsoft account that has mine coins on it, but my Xbox can't sign into that one. So can I buy Minecraft and open it with #1 account, then log into #2 account inside of Minecraft? Sorry for the confusion.

    :)

    Hello, GGLOL2021. 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.

    As far as I know, you cannot sign in to another account in-game - unless playing a game on local co-op or online co-op. Then, the second player can sign in with his Xbox profile. In the case of Minecraft, there is no such available option.

    But may I know why you cannot sign in to the Microsoft account on your Xbox that has the Minecoins?

    Feel free to ask back any questions.

    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.

    Possible Security Concern, regarding unspecified Communications Ban

    You're right! I never thought I was on a different account than the one Ive had for NINE YEARS.

    I'm a moron who is signed into another account. Even though I only have ONE, and can only POSSIBLY sign into ONE!

    Thanks for your complete lack of faith!
