Can you help me connect my microsoft account to minecraft on my switch?

Hi, _______

Thanks for reaching out.
My name is God'swill, I'm an independent advisor and also a user like you, I'll be happy to help you today.

What you have to do is load up Minecraft, go to the Minecraft Store, and scroll down till you see Everything by Minecraft. Once you see that, click R1 a few times until it says See All 65 or something to view all the textures made by Minecraft. Then, scroll until you find “Minecraft Texture Update Beta”. Install it, and once you install it, you might get signed in!

Please be sure to let me know if you need more help as I'll be glad to do so.

Regards...

Hi Georges,

thank you for your answer. I disagree. The problem is with a Microsoft account within minecraft. The issue is definitely with Microsoft.

In Minecraft on switch there is a button to logout from Minecraft. When you login again, the authentication of the first Microsoft account which was logged into is prompted. There is no possibility to change the Microsoft account.

There is an additional button "Delete Microsoft account login data". If this is pressed you are asked, if you are sure. If you press yes, nothing happens. Nothing has changed with login either.

Can you help us, please?

Issue is, I connected the Switch Minecraft version with my adult Microsoft account. Now my son is old enough and I want, that he logs into the switch with his own account. But I cannot change the Microsoft login account of switch minecraft. :-(

Best

Mathias

This is not the first time I've signed into my Microsoft account for minecraft or Nintendo switch. I have tried multiple wifi connections, and the only error code it gives me is error code 500 and says xbox live cannot complete this request. I am able to log into my Microsoft account on the regular Microsoft website, just doesn't work for the website to connect it to my minecraft for nintendo switch

Hi Abigail Corcio,

Welcome to Microsoft Xbox Community Forum. I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble connecting your Microsoft account to Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch. I'll do my best to help you with this issue.



Firstly, I would like to clarify that Microsoft accounts can be used to sign into Minecraft on Nintendo Switch. However, there are some steps that need to be followed to ensure that the process is successful.

Here are the steps that you can follow to connect your Microsoft account to Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch:

1. Make sure that you have a Microsoft account. If you don't have one, you can create one for free on the Microsoft website.

2. Open Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch and select "Sign In" from the main menu.

3. Select "Sign in with a Microsoft Account" and follow the on-screen instructions to sign in.

4. If you're prompted to download the "oauth" file, make sure that you download it and save it to your device.

5. Once the file is downloaded, go back to Minecraft and select "Choose File" to locate and select the "oauth" file.

6. After selecting the file, Minecraft should automatically sign you in to your Microsoft account.



If you're still experiencing issues after following these steps, there are a few things that you can try:

- Make sure that your Nintendo Switch is connected to the internet and that you have a stable internet connection.

- Clear the cache and cookies on your web browser and try signing in again.

- Try signing into your Microsoft account on a different device to see if the issue is specific to your Nintendo Switch.

If none of these steps work, you can contact the Minecraft support team for further assistance. See: Contact Us | Minecraft Help



I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Kind regards,
Marrion
