    I want to change which Microsoft account my Minecraft account is linked to but I cannot...


    So I have a minecraft account linked to a microsoft account which is connected to my previous email.

    Recently i was asked to log in again in the launcher for some reason, i put in the email and password for the Microsoft account my minecraft is connected to, which is my old email, and then it asked me to "verify 6 digit code in authenticater" which is strange as i didn't link that microsoft account to an authenticator app on phone, and now i can't log into my minecraft account. then i thought "maybe i'll try to change which microsoft account my MineCraft account is connected to", so i try to log into my old email which my acc is connected to, unlike all my other stuff, and apperantly i forgot the password, concered a bit, i try to recover the account, but google says it has too little info about my account for it and microsoft denied me as the account owner for too little info.

    So i cannot log into my microsoft account to change what account my minecraft is connected to, i cannot log into my email to try to reset the microsoft password, i cannot recover both accounts because one has too little info and the other denied me, i can't do anything.

    Best i can do is just to ask for an admin/microsoft insider to either change what microsoft account my minecraft is linked to or help me recover it so i can try to do it manually with my account in hand, which i'm not even sure would be possible in this way as i still won't have my old email back, just the microsoft account linked to it and the minecraft account too, in which case if said problem would happen again in the future i'd have to do all this again.

    old email: *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. *** (on both microsoft and google)

    new email: *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. *** (on both microsoft and google)

    :)

    I want to change which Microsoft account my Minecraft account is linked to but I cannot access my email or Microsoft account.

    Hi Noam Amsalem,

    I understand that you want to change which Microsoft account your Minecraft account is linked to, but you cannot access your email or Microsoft account. I understand that this is a very frustrating situation considering the possibility of losing you access and also the progress you have on the Minecraft.

    I would like to inform you at the beginning that Microsoft account recovery is managed by a completely automated server, and we do not have manual access to it. Microsoft takes the security and privacy of our customers very seriously. We are committed to protecting your personal information, and the meticulous account recovery process is intended to protect you from any possible malicious activity. For now, please allow me to do the best I can in helping you with the process.



    Firstly, it's important to note that once a license a tied up to a Microsoft Account, it could not be changed, and we might need to consult Minecraft support for this. However, if ever changing Microsoft Account linked to your Minecraft account is possible, this would also require you to have access to both accounts. Since you are unable to access your email and Microsoft account, it may be difficult to change the linked account. However, we can try some troubleshooting steps to help you regain access to your accounts.

    To resolve this issue, we need to verify your identity and ownership of your Microsoft account and your Minecraft account. Here are the steps you need to follow:

    1. Go to https://account.live.com/acsr and fill out the form with as much information as you can remember about your Microsoft account and your email account. You will need to provide an alternate email address where we can contact you. This email address should not be linked to any Microsoft account or service.

    2. After submitting the form, you will receive an email from Microsoft with a security code. Enter the code on the next page of the form and click Next.

    3. If the information you provided is sufficient, you will be able to reset your password and access your Microsoft account. If not, you will see a message saying that we couldn't verify your identity. In that case, you will need to contact our support team by phone or chat and provide additional proof of ownership, such as a product key, a payment method, or a billing statement.

    4. Once you have access to your Microsoft account, go to https://account.microsoft.com/devices and remove any devices that you don't recognize or use anymore. This will disable the authenticator app on those devices and prevent anyone from accessing your account without your permission.

    Once you have regained access to your Microsoft account, please reach out to Minecraft support for further assistance in changing the Microsoft Account linked to your Minecraft account. To contact Minecraft support, you may log a request on this page: Contact Us | Minecraft Help



    I hope this information helps you regain access to your accounts and change the linked account for your Minecraft account. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

    Kind regards,

    Marrion

    Can anyone see a solution to my Minecraft problem? Skip to 2:00 on the video

    No, Here's the thing.

    The account was closed, but then it was reopened before the 60 days had ended, so it was still linked to my Mojang account.

    And yes, I did receive an email to the account that I wanted to transfer.

    The problem right now is I have a Microsoft account which is linked to my Minecraft account, however, it is also linked to my Xbox account, which doesn't have a Minecraft account linked. Whenever I try and login with only my Microsoft account, Minecraft automatically signs it into the Xbox account, which, once again, doesn't have an account linked to it.

    That's the problem at hand

    Microsoft Account linked to PS4 account on Minecraft

    I have linked my Microsoft account to my PS4 account in order to play cross platform minecraft. The issue is that I would like to play cross platform with my brother, who is playing using my Xbox One. My microsoft account is now associated with
    both my PS4 account and Xbox Live account, which means that we share a gamertag. For this reason I cannot add my Xbox account as a friend on Minecraft and cannot play cross platform. I attempted to resolve this issue by unlinking my Microsoft account from
    my PS4 account but this did not resolve the issue. I was unable to link a different Microsoft account to my PS4 account, a message informed me that my account was already linked to another and could not be linked again.
    Please can you make it free Minecraft Minecraft store PS4
