I migrated my Minecraft account and now I can't log in.

I tried to migrate my Minecraft account and have been locked out of it. I tried my old login (modded Minecraft on Curse launcher if it helps), and it tells me my username and/or password is invalid and to use my Microsoft login. I then tried to log in using my Microsoft login details (I only have the one account through microsoft) and it tells me my username and/or password are invalid. I know each are correct as I just logged into my Microsoft account using my password (and typing it, also used copy/paste (which I know I shouldn't...)) and it tells me it's wrong? I need help with fixing this. Pictures are provided with personal info blanked out.

Hey, I can't log into minecraft after migrating my account to outlook.

My issue is that when I was migrating, apparently I had a Microsoft account that shared the name and tag ofmy gmail account (*** Email address is removed for privacy *** for outlook) , and I was able to migrate it that way, but now I can't log in using that email anymore, and it's telling me to use my outlook account, even though I am.

Is there a fix to this, or am I screwed?

It's not in the migration instructions, but after the migration, you have to ADD a NEW account, and link it to your Microsoft account. Startup will take longer, but it sure works.

On the login prompt in the java launcher, go back. You'll see the mojang account you had been signing into - ignore it, and add a new account to the launcher. Using the email address associated with the microsoft account you just migrated to, sign in with the email address and password of your microsoft account. It's not an elegant migration on the UX side of things, but it does work.

This has worked and seems to be the step I missed. Thank you for the help!

I'm logging in with my microsoft account, through the microsoft account log in.

I've already migrated my account and it worked, because I played after it migrated. I've been having this issue after I changed to the new minecraft launcher they've released through the microsoft store, and I can't log in to Xbox Live through the Xbox app either.

I just wanna play minecraft-
