Connecting Microsoft account to Nintendo Switch

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you're having trouble connecting your Microsoft account to your Nintendo Switch. It sounds like you may have accidentally clicked on the Xbox sign-in page instead of the Nintendo Switch sign-in page.



To connect your Microsoft account to your Nintendo Switch, please follow these steps:



1. On your Nintendo Switch, go to System Settings > Users > Add User.

2. Create a new user account and select "Sign in using a Microsoft account."

3. Follow the prompts to sign in to your Microsoft account and link it to your Nintendo Switch.



If you continue to have trouble, please let me know and I'll do my best to assist you further.

Sincerely,

Recently my account was compromised and connected to a random nintendo switch. Now I have no clue as to how to unlink the nintendo switch from my account as the only forums I've seen about this situation if you have access to the nintendo switch. I dont have access to the switch so how do I unlink the account from my Microsoft one?

The problem with unlinking this is gonna be the fact that its your Microsoft account is linked to the switch account and not the other way around.

The linking process starts on Nintendo's end. Therefore unlinking it would also have to be done from Nintendo's end.

Hello everyone!

Thank you all for posting on the Xbox forums. We will be locking this thread due to it being revived by a new post. If there are any questions, discussions or issues that anyone would like to bring to our attention, please create a new thread. We will
be more than happy to answer any questions or provide solutions for any issues. Thank you all again and happy gaming!

How did you try to access the link?

I'd also make sure that the game is fully up to date and then try again on your Switch.

Thank you! I managed to fix it by creating a new microsoft account
