How to disconnect a hacked Minecraft account from Minecraft launcher

Carter Lu · Dec 27, 2023

So awhile back, My Minecraft account got compromised which led to me purchasing a brand new Minecraft account. I had Zero access to the compromised account because the hacker changed the email, removed the connected phone number, and changed the password. As I purchased the Minecraft account, downloaded the launcher, and well; launched it. I try to login using Microsoft login. But this ends up redirecting me to the old Minecraft account asking for the password. So I was wondering how to fix this issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Launcher multiple times. When I try to use the Legacy version of the Launcher it works by sending me to the default log in screen instead of REDIRECTING me to a different log in screen. This is all really frustrating because It doesn't allow me to use any clients such as Lunar client or Badlion client as all of those operate off of the normal Minecraft Launcher and NOT the Legacy version.

When I click buy from the Minecraft launcher it takes me to this website https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-edition?ref=Launcher I'm not logged in and it has the option to purchase Minecraft but after logging in to the that website with same Microsoft account that I had logged into the Minecraft launcher with the purchase option is replaced with Already own Minecraft? Download it again. and the launcher download button.

I did not understand, my friend. Your hacked account had Minecraft Java. Then, after it got hacked, you created another account and was given Minecraft for Windows? Microsoft or Mojang gave you Minecraft for Windows or how this happened?

Hi alex,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues installing Minecraft Bedrock Edition. So I can better understand your situation, please provide the exact error message that you received.

Please follow these steps to install Minecraft using the launcher directly from Minecraft.

1. Delete the Minecraft launcher that exists on your computer.

2. Restart your computer.

3. Install Minecraft launcher for Windows.

Once reinstalled, continue with these instructions.

1. Open Minecraft launcher.

2. If you are already logged in, click on your image and Gamer tag in the upper left corner of the screen and then on "Logout".

3. After logging out, delete all accounts registered in the launcher by clicking on the "X" next to each account.

4. In the Minecraft launcher, enter the Microsoft email and password.

Hope this solves your issue, please do let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Alvaro
