I lost access to my Minecraft account

naothecake · Aug 4, 2022

I migrated my Minecraft account to Microsoft a long time ago and had no issues with it. My whole PC was hacked some time ago(28th of July), after which I restored access to my Microsoft account just fine, but now, when I try to use my Microsoft account to log into Minecraft, I am requested to create a new Minecraft account. It seems to me, that the hacker changed the email bound to my Minecraft account and illegally sold it to someone, as, using namemc.com, I saw my account name change. What do I even do about this situation?? I contacted Minecraft Support earlier, and they told me to contact Microsoft about this issue, but there is just no reply. I am lost

So is my account lost forever? I'm fine if it is but I just want access to Minecraft account again. Is there a way to transfer my Minecraft account to another Microsoft account so I can still use it?

if you cannot access your microsoft account and have 2fa active then they are right all is lost, and as the microsoft account is the account that minecraft migrated too you have now lost minecraft if you cannot access the microsoft account.

Hi I have recently lost access to my gamertag on minecraft due to changing my password for my emails is there a way of recovering that account ?

If you already recovered your Microsoft account, unfortunately Microsoft cannot help you with anything else. Only Mojang support could help you with this, since the account ownership for Minecraft is on Mojang servers, not on Microsoft servers. On Microsoft side there is only your Microsoft account - which you mentioned is already recovered, right?

Since my Microsoft account was linked to my Minecraft account I lost access to my Minecraft account cause someone deleted my Microsoft account. Now Im not sure what happens but I was wondering if i would be possible to link a diffrent Microsoft account to an already migrated Minecraft account.

(*Moved from feedback.)

Unfortunately not. If the Microsoft account that your Minecraft account was migrated to was deleted then your Minecraft would be essentially deleted along with it.
