    How Should I better secure my minecraft account


    Last night my minecraft account was hacked and I lost 2000+ hours of progresson on a server I was active on, I want to know if there is anything I should do now to better secure my accounts becuse the activity did not appear in my microsoft account history or my xbox live account history. I clicked a fake microsoft link and beyond not doing that is there any better security I can enable? I have changed my microsoft password since the hack and I am pretty sure I have regained controll of the minecraft account.
    I had microsoft 2fa enabled at the time when I was hacked.

    :)

    Minecraft Recovery

    I did try, but I migrated my Minecraft account to this Microsoft account, and I don't need to recover it. I need to restore Minecraft itself on my account because it's not working on my account!
    How exactly is it not working? Any error messages? The more detail the better.

    No access to Minecraft account

    It's nice to secure my account but of course this didn't help with my problem. My Minecraft account just doesn't show up in my Microsoft account even though I'm sure it's the right account.

    How can I have someone look into my account to fix this?

    I can't set my Minecraft account as my active account

    Hi, I did migrate my account. A guy from the Minecraft support confirmed that.

    I asked Minecraft support to tell me which Microsoft account was linked with my Minecraft account but they couldn't tell me that for security reasons.

    Can only access minecraft Java Demo despite multiple purchases

    It is all the same email. I can sign in to the Microsoft account without issue. The issue is that it doesn't shoe a purchase of java minecraft. I can play minecraft for windows with that account without issue. Just not the Java version. There is no error message, but I only have access to the demo. The account is secured with my phone number.

    Perhaps we can explore why I have windows minecraft but not Java minecraft. Articles indicate that I should have access to both.
