Forgot account email and security email

Austin Y · Sep 9, 2023

I have a Minecraft (xbox live) account and i've forgotten the email it belongs to. I did not have a security email or a security phone number, and my current known emails link to other accounts. I have no way of accessing and signing into this account. It is my only account that owns Minecraft.

I am still able to use this account to play using the official launcher. The account username is bepisp1963.

Without the email to log in with, i cannot use this account to play on other launchers.

I have already tried a recover your account form. It required an email, which i did not have.

If somehow i were able to see the email behind my lost account, I think i would be able to access the account.

Thanks to all that respond.

(edit: the game in question is Minecraft Java. I play on a Mac Mini.)

(edit 2: my account is still signed in on the official launcher. If I were to sign out, I would not be able to sign back in.)

Hello Austin Y,

Greetings!

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Based on the description, you forgot the Microsoft account that you are using where your Mojang account was migrated. Microsoft account was not secured as well by adding alternate email address and phone number in your security information. Let us check and see on what we can do to help address your concern in a timely manner.

As per information, you have known for your Java profile name. We can try reaching Minecraft support if they have the tool to identify what Microsoft account that was used to migrate your Mojang account and make sure to provide transaction ID to show ownership of the account. Here in my Microsoft, we do have the tool for username look up however it will not work for you this time since no information remembered that was tied up to your Microsoft account. Contacting Minecraft support will not give us an assurance to identify your Microsoft account however it is worth a try.

Knowing the email address is the most important thing to recovering your Xbox account. For security reasons, not even customer support will reveal the email address.

Look here on the
Forgot the Microsoft Account Email Solution and prepare to do a little "sleuthing" to figure out what that email address was. Consider also checking your personal files, records, or other email inboxes to see if anything has any relation to that old email
address.

Hi ImmuneLion318, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Adding an email as security information is primarily to verify identity. This will keep the original Microsoft account.

If you have an email or number set as security information, it is an added security for your account in case you forgot your password or if the account is compromised.

I would highly recommend not using an email or a phone number of a different person under the security information because it is for the security of the account owner.

You can try this or if you have an alternate security email you can go and see if you have any email from the principal.
