How can I authenticate the microsoft services ?

Hi,Tylah Mosely

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

I understand that you are having problems not being able to log in to Minecraft and I understand your confusion.



Also, some players have said that setting the time zone is not correct to cause this problem, you can refer to this link:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/1ing5ut/how_to_fix_you_need_to_authenticate_to_microsoft/



To fix this, try deleting and adding the Microsoft account again: In the Authenticator app, try deleting your current Microsoft account, add it again, and scan the QR code again to link it again.

Then, log back into Minecraft

Try restarting your device, uninstalling, and reinstalling the game to see if the problem persists.

You may refer to the same error on PC:

Hello,

Which platform are you on, and which Minecraft are you experiencing this issue with?

Some threads to check out and check their solutions:

• mincraft bedrock server - You need to authenticate with microsoft - Microsoft Community
  
• You need to authenticate to Microsoft services - Microsoft Community
  
• Minecraft "authenticate to microsoft services" - Microsoft Community
  

This could also be a result of a Network Status error. You can check here: Xbox Status | Xbox Support

There was an issue with Game services this week. Let me know what you try and any other information you can share.

Thanks,

it appears that the setting to automaticly set the clock is off and that caused the issue
