Hi Lemmy6678!

This is clearly not the situation I want you to be in. Please be advised that our accounts’ primary key in accessing them through the system are our primary email addresses. Without knowing the correct email address, we may not be able to recover the correct account. Also, it’s the email address or phone number on our account aliases is needed to begin the account recovery process.

You may check your emails or email history to find traces where your Minecraft account was possibly migrated to. You can also try to check it on this link https://account.live.com/username/recover by entering your gamertag or a phone number that’s possibly linked to your account.

i want to recover an old minecraft account but i have no clue what email was used to create the account. there likely isnt a phone number attached to the account, but if i am reminded of the email i can probably somehow recover the email. please help!

looking at other posts similar, i would like to clarify, i dont know my email for this account, minecraft.net directed me here.

If you have a Skype username or phone number associated with the same account then you can recover it using that but otherwise youd have to find out the email somehow. Its not possible to recover an account without it and support can't tell you what the email is.

Hi Adrian,

My name is Aileen, and I’m an Xbox Expert and user just like you. I get how stressful it can be to be signed out and not remember the email or password, especially when all you have is your Minecraft gamertag.

Unfortunately, the gamertag alone can’t be used to recover your Microsoft account directly, but here’s what you can try to regain access:

Go to https://account.live.com/username/recover

Enter the email or phone number you think might be linked (try all you can remember)

If you don’t remember any email, click “I don’t have any of these” and follow the steps to recover your account by filling out the recovery form with as much info as possible (dates of account creation, billing info, gamertag, Xbox device IDs if any)

You can also check your other emails for any old messages from Microsoft or Minecraft that might help you identify the right email

If that doesn’t work, your best bet is to create a new Microsoft account and Minecraft account. I know that’s frustrating, but without the linked email or password, recovery is really limited.

If you bought Minecraft on that lost account, you won’t be able to transfer the license or game to a new account, sadly.

I hope this helps you find your account or at least understand your options. If you want, I can guide you through the recovery steps.

Please let me know if you need further help.

Thank you!

Aileen
