cannot log into minecraft account + forced to change my username?

When I logged into windows 10 using my Microsoft account it instantly used my Xbox username. It there any way I can make my Minecraft account different than my Xbox username? This would be extremely helpful, especially because my Minecraft username
is 13 letters, and Xbox usernames can only be 12 letters!

Hi there,

I found this article, I hope this helps:

Minecraft Usernames

This article covers Minecraft usernames for Minecraft: Java Edition on PC/Mac. Minecraft on other platforms do not require usernames, but if you play on Minecraft Realms on these platforms you will use your Xbox gamer tag. The console editions of Minecraft
use Xbox gamer tag or Sony PSN ID.



Where can I find my username?

If you have a Mojang account, your username can be found and changed on your Mojang account page.

Can I change my username?

Users who have a Mojang account (the default account type for all accounts registered after November 2012) can change their username for free at account.mojang.com/me by clicking the
(Change) link next to your profile name.

If you sign in with your username, as older accounts do, you'll first need to migrate to a Mojang account before you can change your username.

I play Minecraft on my PlayStation 4 so that's the console I'm having issues on. I'm not really sure what you mean by third party account as Microsoft only lets you link things to Microsoft approved/partnered things, but it was my Xbox/Microsoft account, I changed the Xbox account's randomly generated username to a new one and that's when I first started getting problems logging into my Microsoft account on the PlayStation but it still let me log back in eventually, then I changed my Xbox username to match my PSN username and now it doesn't let me log in at all.

It will force sign out the account if you change the password to it because it will ask them to log in again to that account with the updated password. And if they cannot log in, they will no longer be able to use the account.

yes i am on pc i am logged in on the microsoft store, xbox and the minecraft launcher and im also using the account i used to purchase the game, yet i cannot go on my minecraft profile on the website without being forced to log in and when i press the log in button it just asks me to log in again

I am using the following website: https://hypixel.paniek.de/player/6538db5abf3a47a79f2f86b3057b350d/status to see that they are using my minecraft account to access the hypixel server. Furthermore, on my own side with my device, changing username, gamertag, password or using the force all sign out on microsoft security settings has not made my own minecraft launcher force me to sign in again, it simply uses the fact that its been logged in before and still lets me just press play and access any servers without a need to re-enter details. This seems like a vital security issue as a change in password should cause all minecraft launchers to sign out. Since then, I have also tried it on my friend's PC, where upon changing the password, it still allowed me to access my minecraft account from his launcher without needing to re-enter details there as well. For some reason the basic minecraft launcher does not require a re-entry of login details upon account password change.

Cheers
