I need to authenticate to Microsoft services. How do I fix this?

Hi,Tylah Mosely

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

I understand that you are having problems not being able to log in to Minecraft and I understand your confusion.



Also, some players have said that setting the time zone is not correct to cause this problem, you can refer to this link:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/1ing5ut/how_to_fix_you_need_to_authenticate_to_microsoft/



To fix this, try deleting and adding the Microsoft account again: In the Authenticator app, try deleting your current Microsoft account, add it again, and scan the QR code again to link it again.

Then, log back into Minecraft

Try restarting your device, uninstalling, and reinstalling the game to see if the problem persists.

You may refer to the same error on PC:

Since you have tried all the possible steps here to sort out the issue. There seems to be an issue with the game only. Would it be fine if you can try contacting Mojang support for further advice? You will need to report the bug to them so that they can provide a fix for it. You can contact them using this link, https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/requests/ne....

I tried that too but it didn't work unfortunately

You're welcome. I appreciate your time contacting us about the issue. Please let me know if you have any other concerns.

Thank you. Have a great day!
