    Can't sign in to my Microsoft account on PS5.


    Hey, I've been struggling with signing into my Microsoft account on PS5 Minecraft.
    I've linked my account a few years ago and everything worked. I'm using the same account now and it says:

    Failed to login
    Oops! Looks like the Microsoft account you are trying to use is already connected to another account for PlayStation Network.

    Please sign in with a Microsoft account that is not already linked to an account for PlayStation Network.

    I've tried signing in with a different Microsoft account, it said the same thing. I contacted PSN Support, they said they don't have access to unlink the account. Mojang support said the same thing.

    :)

    Can't sign in to my Microsoft account on PS5.

    Hey v4t, thanks for your post! Sorry to hear that you're dealing with this account linking issue. I understand how confusing this can be.

    This message usually means your Microsoft account is still linked to a PlayStation Network account, and unfortunately, once linked, it cannot be unlinked or transferred.

    Even if you no longer use that PSN account, the original link remains permanent. Trying a different Microsoft account often does not work if the PS5 still recognizes a prior connection.

    The only current workaround is to use a different Microsoft account that has never been linked to any PlayStation Network account before. Make sure you're also using a new PSN profile if needed.

    I hope this information helps you. If you have other questions, please let me know!

    How do I connect my Microsoft accou t to my ps5

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you want to connect your Microsoft account to your PS5.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    On your PS5, please navigate to the game or application that requires the Microsoft account link. It will prompt you to sign in or link an account.

    And then choose the "Link Accounts" option.

    The PS5 will display a QR code or a link to a website: https://aka.ms/remoteconnect

    Next is to sign in on your phone or PC by opening a web browser on your phone or PC and go to the link provided on the PS5. Or you can use your phone's camera to scan the QR code.

    After that is to enter the PS5 code. On the web browser, you'll be prompted to enter the code displayed on your PS5 console screen.

    Kindly sign in with your Microsoft account by entering your Microsoft account email and password.

    Once done signing in, the PS5 console screen will display your Microsoft account details. Please confirm the link by following the on-screen instructions.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Can't sign in with a Microsoft account with PS5 Minecraft

    Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft account.

    If the Microsoft account has been deactivated/closed permanently, I'm afraid it is no longer possible to recover your Minecraft account.

    Also, if you have not logged into your Microsoft account for more than two years and it has been closed due to inactivity, you will not be able to use the Account Recovery Form to recover your account. Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/office/7c0a9fa7-0982-b7c6-fd72-df852b63699f

    According to the official Mojang website: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360037725571-Minecraft-for-PlayStation-FAQ

    "Note: Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation® account, neither the Microsoft account nor the PlayStation™ Network account can be associated with a different account. 

    Note: Once a Microsoft account has been linked to a PlayStation™ Network account, it cannot be unlinked without loss of access to entitlements and Minecoins on other platforms. 

    Note: As of March 15, 2023, please DO NOT unlink your MSA from your PlayStation account via the in-game menu. You will be unable to link it back if you do so."

    You might need to create a new Microsoft/Mojang account and link it with a new PSN account.

    Just in case the Microsoft account has not been closed yet, you will need to try the Account Recovery Form: https://account.live.com/acsr

    Important: The account recovery form can only be used if two-step verification isn't turned on. If the feature is enabled, the only way to recover the account is to regain access to your two-step verification phone number.

    Detailed steps on how to use the Account Recovery Form can be found here: https://support.microsoft.com/office/b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42

    Microsoft takes account security very seriously, that's why Account Recovery is an automated process with no human influence. If you don't have the correct information, you may not be able to get through account verification using the Recovery Form.

    The Account Recovery Form requires adequate information to prove that you are the owner of the account. The Account Recovery Process can be a time-consuming process, but providing as much info as possible from the start of the process will increase the possibility of being verified by the automated process. You'll need to keep trying until you're verified by Microsoft.

    Remember to use a familiar device from which you've frequently accessed your Microsoft account, as well as a familiar location. Microsoft will review your responses and respond within 24 hours. If you are verified, instructions on how to log back into your account will be sent to you, and if you are not verified, you will need to submit the Account Recovery form again. You can do this up to 2 times every 24 hours.

    It's important to note that Microsoft Support will not be able to grant you access to your account, you will be sent back to the Account Recovery pages that have been linked above.

    If your Microsoft account recovery request was not granted or was unsuccessful, please click the attached link for more information: https://support.microsoft.com/office/dc56c3e3-dff0-4ed5-8edb-60290eea6b53

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
