    Help with signing into Microsoft account on Minecraft launcher.


    When I open the Minecraft launcher it prompts me to sign into my Microsoft account. I use my email and then it says a Touch ID or other security window should pop up. This security pop up never happens and it perpetually loads. I have updated my Mac and uninstalled and reinstalled the launcher. I tried on my apartment wifi and my school wifi (which is better wifi).

    :)

    My Minecraft launcher shows no connection to the Internet

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with Minecraft launcher shows no connection to the Internet.

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

    First is to verify your account owns minecraft. Please make sure that you are signed into the Microsoft account you used to purchase Minecraft. You can check your purchase history on the Microsoft Account Services page: https://account.microsoft.com/services to verify that the game is listed.

    Once verified that you owned the game, please restart your modem/router in order for the device network to refresh.

    And then sign out and sign in. Kindly sign out of your Microsoft account in the Minecraft launcher.

    Close the launcher completely.

    Sign back in with your Microsoft account and check if the game is recognized.

    Next is clear your Minecraft launcher cache because this can help resolve any corrupted files that might be causing the issue.

    Then uninstall the Minecraft launcher and reinstall it from the official Minecraft website. This will help resolve issues with the launcher.

    I hope that this will help you have a working Minecraft Launcher.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Minecraft launcher, sign-in with a new account

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues signing into your Minecraft account via launcher.

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

    Make sure that the password of your Minecraft account is correct to be able to sign in successfully. Or you can also reset the password of the account before signing in.

    Please update the launcher. Make sure that your Minecraft launcher is updated to the latest version. Open the Xbox app, locate the Minecraft launcher, and check for updates.

    And then clear account cache. To do this, open the Minecraft launcher, log out of all accounts, and clear the account cache because this can help reset the sign-in process.

    Next is to reset the Microsoft Store by pressing Windows + R to open the Run dialog box.

    Type wsreset.exe and press Enter. This will reset the Microsoft Store cache.

    Then repair or reset the Launcher. Go to "Settings" > "Apps" > "Apps & Features."

    Locate the Minecraft launcher, select "Advanced Options," and choose "Repair".

    After that is to sign in via Xbox App. Kindly sign into your Microsoft account through the Xbox app first, then launch Minecraft

    Thank you for your cooperation.
