I'm trying to sign in with a Microsoft account on Minecraft can someone help me?

Hello River Heyburn,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue with Minecraft Bedrock. The error message you're seeing means that the Microsoft account you're trying to use to sign in to Minecraft Bedrock is already connected to another Minecraft account. This could be because you previously used a different Minecraft account with the same Microsoft account, or because someone else has used your Microsoft account to sign in to Minecraft.



To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:



1. Go to the Xbox website and sign in with the Microsoft account you're trying to use to sign in to Minecraft Bedrock.

2. Click on "Profile & settings" and then "Account settings".

3. Under "Your info", click on "Sign-in preferences".

4. Make sure that "Ask for my password" is selected under "Security preferences".

5. Scroll down to "Apps and services" and click on "Apps and services that can access your account".

6. Look for Minecraft Bedrock in the list of apps and services and click on it.

7. Click on "Remove these permissions" and confirm that you want to remove Minecraft Bedrock's access to your Microsoft account.

8. Try signing in to Minecraft Bedrock again with your Microsoft account.



If this doesn't work, please connect with our live support team.



I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hey there!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, a fellow gamer. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

You can confirm if the Minecraft game was purchased under a Microsoft account by signing all of your known Microsoft email addresses on account.microsoft.com > payment and billing > order history.

If Minecraft is there, you can try to use the same account to sign in to the Minecraft launcher.

If the game is still not showing up under your Order history in all of your accounts, please let me know.

I have been trying to link my Microsoft account to Minecraft on the PS4 and first i had a hard time changing the account but then once i tried signing in with my account it got stuck on a screen saying "Signing in with your Microsoft Account..."
and i could only cancel. Then it would just keep trying to sign in could someone please help i'm really confused.

I have the same problem

Hello Sharukh! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

Is this a particular game? I know this has happened on Minecraft so you can try the following:

Sign out of the Microsoft account tied to Minecraft, close Minecraft and restart the console. And sign back in.

Hi, Is there a way to know wich Microsoft account Is tied to my Minecraft account? I can't access the account anymore and i don't know the email/Microsoft account tied to It

I dont believe there is any other way other than signing into every Microsoft account you own to see which one has Minecraft on it. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
