Connecting your Microsoft Account to Minecraft

Thank you for trusting Microsoft community, this is a man.

I'm really sorry to hear that you're unable to play with your Microsoft account, however you can visit Minecraft's website and check the connected accounts to your Minecraft account. If you're unable to find any connected accounts, you can go ahead and contact the support for Minecraft as we do not handle connecting accounts.

Please let me know if this answers your question.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues signing in to Minecraft on Switch.

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

ensure your Switch's date and time are synchronized, log out and back into your Microsoft account, check your internet connection, and verify your Minecraft account is linked to your Microsoft account.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of troubleshooting steps:

Please verify Nintendo Switch settings. To do this, make sure that your Switch's date and time are accurate and synchronized with the internet.

As well as your Switch's region settings are correct.

Once done checking, restart your Nintendo Switch.

For your Microsoft Account authentication. Please sign out of your Microsoft account on the Switch and then sign back in. Make sure that your Microsoft account settings allow online play and that you're not under any child safety restrictions.

And if you have two-factor authentication enabled, ensure you're using the Microsoft Authenticator app to verify your sign-in.

Regarding Minecraft and internet connection. Kindly ensure you have a stable and strong internet connection. After that is to close and reopen the Minecraft application.

It is also important to ensure that your Minecraft game is up to date.

Aside from that make sure that no firewall or other security software is blocking Minecraft from connecting to Microsoft services.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi! I'm Richard, an Independent Advisor. I'm here and ready to help you today!

Your Minecraft account is already connected to a Microsoft account. To fix this.

Try to log in with the Microsoft account you used before.

If you don't remember, check your email for messages from Microsoft or Minecraft.

Use that email and password to sign in.

If you can't access the old account, you might need to create a new Microsoft account and buy Minecraft again.

Kindest Regards,

Richard R.
