Hi DanielSmith420, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

To access your Xbox/Minecraft account and other Microsoft services, you need to know the email address and password you used to set up your Microsoft account. Xbox Support can’t provide this information, even if you know your Gamertag.

I have here methods or workarounds where you may be able to locate the Microsoft account that you have used. Here you go: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/account-pro...

Hey, I can't log into minecraft after migrating my account to outlook.

My issue is that when I was migrating, apparently I had a Microsoft account that shared the name and tag ofmy gmail account (*** Email address is removed for privacy *** for outlook) , and I was able to migrate it that way, but now I can't log in using that email anymore, and it's telling me to use my outlook account, even though I am.

Is there a fix to this, or am I screwed?

Hey there, thanks for getting back with a response

First of all, I stated that I had forgotten the email that had been used to migrate my Minecraft account as what I said on my first email. Is there potentially i could take a look on what emails i used to migrate my Minecraft account? I do infact own the very first email that was used after the purchase of the minecraft account itself which was on 2019 ish.

Thanks

A couple years back I wanted to migrate my Mojang account to a Microsoft account. When I did I tied a gmail account an outlook account, but the outlook account already was used for a Mojang account. As a result, I can no longer access the account associated with the outlook address, instead it logs me into the account that was originally associated with the gmail. I looked on NameMC and found that the account still has a profile and I can see the right skin that I had on. This seems to suggest I could still log into the account, but when I try to login with the outlook on Minecraft,net and Mojang.com it directs me to my gmail Minecraft account or says that the account doesn't exist respectively. If there is any possibility that I could regain access to the original outlook Minecraft and Mojang accounts associated with the outlook account and unmerge the gmail and outlook I would like to know.

I need to know to

Hi Kerric B,

I'm sorry you are having issues with Minecraft, I know you and your son are frustrated. I will do my best to help you through this.

I understand you keep resetting the password, but see if any of these work. There have been a lot of people having issues due to the migration.

Here are some options according to the Minecraft support site - Minecraft: Java Edition Login Issues FAQ

To reset the password for a Minecraft account (where you log in with your username) you need to visit account.mojang.com/migrate and migrate your account to a Mojang account. After doing this you will be able to reset your password.
To reset the password for a Mojang account (where you log in with your email address) visit the Forgot Password page. 
To reset the password for a Microsoft account visit the  forgotten password guide from Microsoft.
