Can't log into minecraft even though password is correct.

Hi Brendan, thanks for reaching out. My name’s Aileen, and I’m an independent advisor here to help. Just a heads-up, this is a public forum, and I can’t access or make changes to your account.

From what you’ve shared, it sounds like your account may be caught in a security loop, likely due to a flagged sign-in attempt or recovery check from Microsoft’s side. Here’s what you can try:

Clear all saved logins on your browser or device (including cookies/cache).

Go to account.live.com and try logging in there first.

If prompted to change your password again, choose a brand-new one (not recently used).

After the password reset, use a private/incognito window to try signing in on Xbox.com or your console.

Once you're in, go to this page and check your recent activity. If anything looks unfamiliar, report it and update your security info.

If you’re still stuck in the login loop and can’t get past verification, your next step is to submit the account recovery form using this link:

https://account.live.com/acsr

Be as accurate as possible with past passwords, security answers, and linked accounts.

If you're using a work or school account, some of this won't apply. Let me know, and I’ll adjust the steps.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.

I have the same issue. Even though the correct login info is typed, when it asks whether to store the password it would say incorrect password and log out. Very annoying. This occurred after I changed my hotmail account name

I can't log into my router cause they say the password is not correct..

Password is correct. I can log in to email with it. And if I try to log xbox site with false password, it does not log in. The error comes with correct password.
