If my yahoo account ( tied with Mojang ) was not logged into in 10 months and the email...

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Baz

If minecraft.net is asking you to verify your identity sending a security code to that yahoo email but you're not able to receive it.
You may need to reach Mojang support to see if you can verify your identity in a different way.

Sadly unless you do that, you can't migrate the account

Hello dear Gamer, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.
My name is Vinicius.
I am a gamer and independent advisor on the XBOX community platform.

Hey , how are you today? Hope you're well.

, Log out of the Launcher. Log in with your new Microsoft account, not your old Mojang account. Note carefully the labels on the login form.

Also, try to reinstall the launcher.

Hi Vinicius, thank you so much for the reply! However, if you can see the screenshot of the Minecraft launcher, it says I'm logged in my Microsoft account in the top left. I have tried reinstalling the launcher multiple times without success and have ensured that I have logged in the microsoft account that I used to migrate my mojang account with. Could the problem be with the microsoft email address I migrated the mojang account to being the exact same as a yahoo email address (the confirmation email was sent to the yahoo email, not the microsoft one)? Is the confirmation email supposed to be sent to the microsoft account? If this is the case, is there something else I can do and any other suggested fixes I could try?

When you redeemed your Java Minecraft on Mojang, you have gotten a 5x5 code to redeem Minecraft on the Windows 10 store.

This redemption is a separate service of your Mojang account, and it's possible to use a Microsoft Account email that is different from your Mojang account email.

Mojang (which gives you Java Minecraft) is separate from the Microsoft Windows Store App, which uses a Microsoft Account email when you redeemed that 5x5 code.

After redemption of that code, the Windows 10 Minecraft is tied to the Microsoft Account email you used on your Windows 10 PC. From then on, you don't really need the Mojang account anymore, if you only want to play on Windows 10. You will then get the game
from the Windows 10 store only, with the E-Mail account you used on the Windows 10 store during code redemption.

So make sure you are signed in with the Microsoft Account email (which might not necessarily be the Mojang account email) when you use the Windows 10 Store app to re-download your Windows 10 Minecraft again.

Back in April I made a post saying that I wish to recover my Xbox 360 account, however this isn't possible.

- I know my old Xbox account's email... there's just one problem.

- Yahoo deactivates inactive email accounts after 12 months of inactivity and I haven't logged into it since 2012...

With this in mind, I cannot log into my old Microsoft account from my childhood nostalgia days and it has a gamertag that I consider very important to my online identity.

So which means that trying to log into my old Xbox account is practically impossible and it is now a permanently blacked out account. With this in mind, is it possible that an employee can manually switch out the old account's email with one that I use actively
or is the account permanently blacked out?

I already tried all options suggested in the previous thread I made but due to the Yahoo email being permanently deactivated and removed from the yahoo servers, I cannot do any of the suggested actions.

Please help.

[quote user="AdriiiXx"]I'm sure that the email and the password are correct because if I try to log in in the email using the same password it accepts me, but not when I try to accept the terms of use.. (my parents' mail is a @yahoo one, is that a problem?)[/quote]

Your parent's email being a Yahoo! Email is not really a problem.

But from the sound of it, the email wasn't made a Live ID account yet.

Let me explain:

The Xbox Live service authenticates users by the "Microsoft Account" (or formerly Live ID).

The username for this Microsoft Account "looks like" an email address.

If you use Microsoft services like Hotmail/Outlook, Live.com and the likes, the username that looks like an email, is in fact an email on the Live service.

If you use a third party email like Yahoo, Gmail, other freemail services or your own domain, then these email adresses are
NOT YET a Microsoft Account.

In order to resolve that, your parents have to go to
https://signup.live.com and make their Yahoo Email a Microsoft account.

REMEMBER! When your parents create a Microsoft Account with their Yahoo Address, that this Microsoft Account is a
SEPARATE account from the Yahoo Service. While the Microsoft Account Username
LOOKS LIKE the Yahoo Email, it is just a string of characters, that resembles the Yahoo Address, but has no connection to the Yahoo email otherwise.

This means that the Password can (and should be) different from the Yahoo Email.

Additionally, if the Yahoo Email should get deleted, the Microsoft Account with the Yahoo email will
continue to exist!

--

So to sum it up: Your parents need to
create a Microsoft Account with the Yahoo Email first.
