Is it possible to login to an old Microsoft account on Minecraft?

Hi, my name is , I'm a member of the Xbox community like you. I understand your problem, don't worry I'm here to help you.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to recover an account with just a nickname or gamertag, as this is public information. It is only possible to recover an account if you have a phone number or Skype name linked to the account.

If you have the account logged into a device, you can use these steps;

I appreciate your patience, if you have more questions feel free to ask.

Hi Georges,

thank you for your answer. I disagree. The problem is with a Microsoft account within minecraft. The issue is definitely with Microsoft.

In Minecraft on switch there is a button to logout from Minecraft. When you login again, the authentication of the first Microsoft account which was logged into is prompted. There is no possibility to change the Microsoft account.

There is an additional button "Delete Microsoft account login data". If this is pressed you are asked, if you are sure. If you press yes, nothing happens. Nothing has changed with login either.

Can you help us, please?

Issue is, I connected the Switch Minecraft version with my adult Microsoft account. Now my son is old enough and I want, that he logs into the switch with his own account. But I cannot change the Microsoft login account of switch minecraft. :-(

Best

Mathias

try using the old launcher for now, continue using it even if it asks you to use the new launcher. : https://launcher.mojang.com/download/MinecraftInstaller.msi Make sure to select "Microsoft login" at the login selection screen, then proceed to login with the Microsoft account connected to your Minecraft.

Hi Georges,

Thanks for the fast reply.
Is there really no other way to recover my account?
I have all the proof of me owning the Minecraft account, old logins for it, proof of migration from Microsoft, everything but the Microsoft login.

Is there no way for anyone to perhaps search for my account within Microsoft, if they have any records of Minecraft to Microsoft accounts? Any possible way I can search for the Xbox account I made when migrating, as I know my name and what profile picture I set for that, just not my gamertag numbers?

I've tried to guess and remember my Microsoft email, but nothing comes up. I'm just losing hope that I'll ever be able to recover my account at all.

Hi, Liam. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

On your Minecraft launcher login page, please don't use your old Mojang account login details. You will need to click the "Go back" button on the login screen then click "Add account" and then choose "Microsoft login."
