I have a Minecraft problem which says I need to authenticate in microsoft service.

Hi, Dan,

I'm sorry to hear that you are currently facing this issue with your Minecraft. We have seen many players reporting the same errror today. May I know what troubleshooting steps you have done so far?

There are players who say that the issue was fixed on its own, while some other say setting the time and date of the device to automatic helped resolve the issue. If you have done all of those, then it is best to contact Minecraft support as this could be a bug in the game server. Please submit a ticket here:

Thank you!

Hello,

Which platform are you on, and which Minecraft are you experiencing this issue with?

Some threads to check out and check their solutions:

• mincraft bedrock server - You need to authenticate with microsoft - Microsoft Community
  
• You need to authenticate to Microsoft services - Microsoft Community
  
• Minecraft "authenticate to microsoft services" - Microsoft Community
  

This could also be a result of a Network Status error. You can check here: Xbox Status | Xbox Support

There was an issue with Game services this week. Let me know what you try and any other information you can share.

Thanks,

Hi, Finley Wier.

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.



From your description, I understand that you are asked to "Authenticate Microsoft Services" when playing Minecraft. I understand your confusion about this issue.



To understand that you are encountering problems with authentication in Microsoft services:

1. Try to delete and re-add your Microsoft account: In the Authenticator app, try to delete your current Microsoft account, re-add it, and then rescan the QR code to link it again.
   
2. Re-sign in to Minecraft.
   
3. Try restarting your device and uninstalling and reinstalling the game to see if the problem persists.
   

You can refer to the same error on PC:
