    How do you switch accounts when your old one was banned


    Hello my old microsoft account was banned and i was signed into my minecraft launcher with the account, everytime i try to launch minecraft now when i am in the sign in page it automatically attempts to sign me into the banned account and does not give me the option to sign into a new one, my launcher is basically in a sign in loop into the banned account

    :)

    How do you switch accounts when your old one was banned

    Hi there Hayden Y.

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

    I am so sorry you are having issues logging into your account.

    Clear Cached Credentials

    Clearing the cached credentials can stop the automatic sign-in process.

    Windows:

    Open Credential Manager:

    Press Windows Key + S and type "Credential Manager".
    Open Credential Manager.

    Remove Minecraft Credentials:

    Select "Windows Credentials".
    Look for any entries related to Minecraft or the Minecraft Launcher.
    Click on them and select "Remove".

    MacOS:

    Open Keychain Access:

    Use Spotlight (Command + Space) and type "Keychain Access".
    Open Keychain Access.
    Delete Minecraft Entries:

    In the left pane, select "Login" and "All Items".
    Search for any entries related to Minecraft or the Minecraft Launcher.
    Right-click and delete them.

    Reset Minecraft Launcher
    Resetting the Minecraft Launcher can sometimes clear out any problematic settings or cached data.

    Windows:
    Reset Minecraft Launcher:
    Press Windows Key + I to open Settings.
    Go to "Apps" and find Minecraft Launcher.
    Click on it and select "Advanced options".
    Scroll down and click "Reset".

    MacOS:
    Delete Preference Files:
    Open Finder and press Command + Shift + G.
    Type ~/Library/Application Support and press Enter.
    Find the Minecraft folder and delete it or move it to a backup location.

    Modify the Launcher Profile Manually
    Manually editing or deleting the profile used by the launcher might force it to prompt for new credentials.

    Windows:

    Access Minecraft Directory:

    Press Windows Key + R, type %appdata%\.minecraft, and press Enter.
    Edit or Delete Profiles:

    Find the launcher_profiles.json file.
    Open it with a text editor like Notepad.
    Look for the account details and either modify or delete the relevant sections.
    Alternatively, you can delete the entire launcher_profiles.json file (the launcher will recreate it).

    MacOS:
    Access Minecraft Directory:

    Open Finder, press Command + Shift + G, and go to ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft.

    Edit or Delete Profiles:

    Locate the launcher_profiles.json file.
    Open it with a text editor.
    Modify or delete the relevant account sections.
    Or delete the launcher_profiles.json file.

    Reinstall Minecraft Launcher
    If the above steps do not work, reinstalling the Minecraft Launcher can resolve many issues.

    Windows:
    Uninstall Minecraft Launcher:

    Press Windows Key + I to open Settings.
    Go to "Apps" and uninstall Minecraft Launcher.
    Reinstall Minecraft Launcher:

    Download the latest version of the Minecraft Launcher from the official Minecraft website and install it.
    MacOS:
    Uninstall Minecraft Launcher:

    Open Finder, go to Applications, and drag the Minecraft Launcher to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash.

    Reinstall Minecraft Launcher:

    Download the latest version of the Minecraft Launcher from the official Minecraft website and install it.

    Create a New Windows User Profile
    Sometimes, user-specific data can cause issues. Creating a new Windows user profile can help bypass these problems.

    Windows:
    Create a New User:

    Press Windows Key + I to open Settings.
    Go to "Accounts" > "Family & other users".
    Click "Add someone else to this PC".
    Follow the prompts to create a new user.
    Log in with the New User:

    Log out of your current account and log in with the new user account.
    Install and run the Minecraft Launcher from the new account.

    I hope this helps!

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

    Delete Gamertag from my WIndows ID

    What if your account is banned, and you want your Gamertag back. Could you do that "switch between Windows ID's" and get your old Gamertag on a new account???

    will a new xbox get banned?

    No one here can give you an 100% answer. But if you do continue to receive account bans, they can ban your console, whether it's a new one or an old one.

    Delete

    my old console was stolen and now I have a new one, when I attempt to make a xbox live account using my e-mail it said that my account already exist . How do I delete my old account to be able to switch my e-mail on my console?

    Permanently Banned from Xbox Live for no reason..?

    Yes this is why you use your real email address when creating an ms account

    So important notifications can get in

    1 year is generous

    Most services dont allow past 30days

    And the other consoles don't allow appeal at all like when Nintendo shadow banned me for having "moded " files on my switch

    Sony has a one strike your our policy and no appeal same with Nintendo ask the millions od switch users how shadow bans are harmful (when they scan your files )
