How can I log back into my Microsoft Account?

Hi there Alex C.

I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry you are having issues with what looks like a compromised account. Please keep in mind, this is a user forum, we are not Microsoft.

The transaction ID cannot be used in recovery, you must use the tools provided by Microsoft.

The first idea to find your email is to directly log into your account with your phone number.

You can find your username using this recovery tool: [https://account.live.com/username/recover] by inputting related data.

If this does not work, you can try to look for email receipts on alternative accounts or find accounts you made be logged into on different services.

Once you have found the new alias, you can recover the account using the Account Recovery Form: https://account.live.com/acsr]

Make sure to complete it in an area you would usually access your account from. It is important to be consistent with this form, you can complete the form twice a day everyday until your regain access to your account. Repeating this will increase your odds of recovery.

Here are more tips to follow with the form: [https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42]

I hope this helps!

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie

Hi Lucas,

So the email that used to be used to log into minecraft has a microsoft account. When I log in to the microsoft account specifically, I'm not sure if the account has been migrated. Like I said, I can't figure out how to log into an account to download minecraft.

Honestly, maybe the account was migrated but to a stolen microsoft account? If that was the case, how would I get my game back?

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there.

I'm an Independent advisor and I'm here to help you with your concern.

Before answering it, I would like to say that it is a pleasure to interact with you in this thread.

First, you'll need to try to remember your email, so you can use the security options (alternate email, phone number, authenticator app) you registered to reset your password.

You try to find the email address you have with the link recommendations: https://support.xbox.com/en-us/help/account-pro...

Check your email accounts for messages about your Xbox subscription. This can help you determine which email address is associated with your subscription.

On mobile, you can also sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/profile and verify that you are signed in to the Microsoft account you use on your Xbox console.

Let me know if you have any questions. I would be very happy to fix it.

Hoping that everything works out for the best. Best Regards, Caius!

Hi there - so I figured out how to download the Minecraft for windows game - I've installed it under my 'admin' account on the laptop - and I need to give access so my son can play the game under his account. Can you tell me the path to the exe file so I can copy it into his profile so he can play it. Or what's the best way to do this.

I thought I could just log into my microsoft store account when logged in under my son's user account but when I try to log into the microsoft store it asks for my pin which I type in but says it's incorrect. When I log back in under my user account on the laptop and log into my microsoft store account my pin works. So this is really weird.

Can you help me.

I tried to log in to my Minecraft account by Mojang login and failed. So I checked my Yahoo mail and noticed I migrated my Minecraft account to Microsoft login, I completely forgot why I did that! Now I can't log in back to my Minecraft because I don't remember the outlook mail I logged. How can I migrate it back? I tried to get the security key but the system is unable to authenticate. If there is no plan to migrate back to Mojang login, how can I get my refund back? I bought the redemption card from the kiosk back in 2017.

p.s. It's new account I made.

"I tried to log in to my Minecraft account by Mojang login and failed. So I checked my Yahoo mail and noticed I migrated my Minecraft account to Microsoft login, I completely forgot why I did that!":

It started being made a requirement so thats probably why.

"How can I migrate it back?":

You cant as far as im aware.

"If there is no plan to migrate back to Mojang login, how can I get my refund back? I bought the redemption card from the kiosk back in 2017":

Odds are you probably cant and if you could it would probably have to be the kiosk company that would refund you since thats where it was purchased originally.
