How do I sign in my Minecraft account on the switch with option two

Hello SAMSfAn3,

Let me help you with your concern today. Please note that this is a public forum, I apologize for a delay in response.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. First way is scanning the QR and the second option is the Remote Connect sign in where you will need another device, correct? If you need help with signing in using another device, please follow the steps below:

1. Start Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch.

2. Select Sign in with a Microsoft Account.

3. Go to the displayed URL (https://www.microsoft.com/link) on your phone/PC.

4. Enter the code showing on your Switch.

5. Sign into the Microsoft account you want linked to the Switch.

6. Confirm the account you want to link is correct.

Hi there,

just to be sure are you using the 'correct' version of Minecraft on the Switch, since there seem to be two versions. the 'older' Minecraft for Switch version and the 'new' Minecraft. Owners of the older version should be able to download the newer version
for free.

If you have the new version, have you tried the exact steps mentioned at

'Now that I have a Microsoft account, how do I sign in on my Switch?' on this page:

That link will also have info on the two versions and other frequently asked questions.

Let us know the results

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues signing in to Minecraft on Switch.

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

ensure your Switch's date and time are synchronized, log out and back into your Microsoft account, check your internet connection, and verify your Minecraft account is linked to your Microsoft account.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of troubleshooting steps:

Please verify Nintendo Switch settings. To do this, make sure that your Switch's date and time are accurate and synchronized with the internet.

As well as your Switch's region settings are correct.

Once done checking, restart your Nintendo Switch.

For your Microsoft Account authentication. Please sign out of your Microsoft account on the Switch and then sign back in. Make sure that your Microsoft account settings allow online play and that you're not under any child safety restrictions.

And if you have two-factor authentication enabled, ensure you're using the Microsoft Authenticator app to verify your sign-in.

Regarding Minecraft and internet connection. Kindly ensure you have a stable and strong internet connection. After that is to close and reopen the Minecraft application.

It is also important to ensure that your Minecraft game is up to date.

Aside from that make sure that no firewall or other security software is blocking Minecraft from connecting to Microsoft services.

Thank you for your cooperation.
