can't switch microsoft account on minecraft

When I log into Minecraft for windows 10, it says that there is an error with my account. I can't go into realms, friends worlds, or servers. Maybe it is because I switched the email on my Microsoft account recently?

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

What do you mean by mobile Minecraft account? Your "Minecraft account" is actually your Microsoft account. You sign in to Minecraft using your Microsoft account. Do you receive a notification on your phone instead of the Switch?

Alright couple things.

1. You would not be able to transfer any xbox profiles and purchases between different MS accounts.

2. What you can do is change what email address that is used to sign into the account.

Keep this in mind though if the email address that is currently on the account that has your profile on it is a MS server email (Hotmail, msn, outlook, live) and you change it and remove that email from the account then that email will be gone FOREVER. So
if the email is one of those emails and your parents still use the email you will not want to do this.

So with that in mind here are the steps to change the email that is used to sign into the account.

1. Since you dont know the current password for your parents account you will need to find that out. You can try to recover the account by going to account.live.com/acsr

2. Once you get the account recovered with a password you would then sign into the account at account.live.com/addassocid once the account is verified through that website it will give you 2 options.

Create a new account with an outlook email

Use an existing NON MS email (gmail, Yahoo, ISP) email

Once you have the new email on the account you can make the new email the primary email and then remove the old email. Now remember DO NOT do this step if it is a MS server email and your parents still use this email.

Still having this problem, in October. I get the code, but then it doesn’t do anything. It’s a little ridiculous how long this issue appears to have persisted. Is there a known fix yet?
