    The one that is "active" is the one that does not have my Minecraft username, and the one that I try to access does. But whenever i tried to remove the first one or to activate the second one, it always asked me to login with Microsoft again in order to do it and when i did, everything stayed the same. Later I got a new computer and now when I log in Minecraft Launcher, it only displays the one gamertag that does NOT contain my Minecraft username, only the second one. Why is this happening and what do I do about it?

    Thanks

    Btw this is on PC

    :)

    I somehow have 2 gamertags(I dont remember creating either of them) but I can't access the one with my purchased Minecraft account

    So I got my old computer back, and I'm still signed in Minecraft Launcher here, and this is what it shows (upper left corner):

    And when I click on ***PII REMOVED*** gamertag it directs me to here:

    And when I again sign in with the same account (there is NO other), this is what it takes me back to:


    [​IMG]


    I can't run away from this ***PII REMOVED*** gamertag! Can't remove it either, same thing happens.

    I already contacted Minecraft Support but they told me to contact Microsoft, since this happened due to migration of the account. Please help.

    This is what it looks like when I click on View all accounts on Minecraft Launcher:

    So you see, there is my username right there, ***PII REMOVED***, I just can't access it! What do I do?

    MOD EDIT: Removed personally identifiable information (PII) - gamertag from post.

    I don't understand. I have been singing in with Microsoft everytime. When I do, license isn't showing. It says I need to buy Minecraft Java Edition. What credentials are you talking about?

    Hello Tara5463,

    We receive the details you shared to us on the private message. Thanks for posting.

    Upon checking the screenshot, you shared, indeed you are only being routed to one account in your Minecraft Launcher. We recommend you to open a browser and visit this link: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/login

    Make sure to select the green button from the site:
    [​IMG]


    Then sign into the email account you know your account where the Minecraft license has been associated with.

    Next, you will need to sign in and check if the license shows on the site you are visiting.

    That credentials should be completely different from the email address you showed to us to sign into different Minecraft account. (Please do not provide your email address)

    Regards,
