if you cannot access your microsoft account and have 2fa active then they are right all is lost, and as the microsoft account is the account that minecraft migrated too you have now lost minecraft if you cannot access the microsoft account.

Hello PotatoManPND,

Thank you sharing this with us and welcome to Xbox Forums.

We understand that you are having trouble changing the Microsoft account associated with your Minecraft account due to 2FA being enabled on your account. Let's see what we can do about this and work on this together.

Before we proceed, I just want to confirm if we are able to access the account in question online through https://account.microsoft.com/ ?

If you are trying to change the email address associated with your Minecraft account, please know that once the Microsoft account linked with your Minecraft account, it cannot be unlinked or changed. However, if you wish to change your Microsoft account alias, we do have a way for that but please note that this will not change the fact that the original alias associated with will always be the account for you to access your Minecraft account.

You can refer on this link as well, it seems that they are discussing the same matter as we have right now: change the Microsoft account linked to Minecraft - Microsoft Community

Note: This article created last 2021.

To change your alias in your Microsoft account, here's how:

1. Go to Add an alias. Sign-in to your Microsoft account, if prompted.
   
2. Under Add an alias, do one of the following:
   
   • Create a new Outlook.com email address and add it as an alias.
     
   • Add an existing email address as an alias.
     
3. Select Add alias.
   

Notes:

• You can't add an email address that's associated with a work or school account as an alias.
  
• An alias or email address can only contain letters, numbers, dot (.), underscore (_) or dash/hyphen (-). Spaces and other special characters aren't allowed.
  
• Existing Hotmail, Live, Outlook.com, and MSN addresses can't be added as aliases, and you can't add an alias that is already associated with another Microsoft account.
  
• It isn't possible to create a new alias using @hotmail, @live.com, or @msn.com. If a Hotmail address is important to you, you need to sign out and create a new account.
  

Once done, you can set up that newly added address as a primary. Please be reminded as well that if you remove an alias that's an email address from a Microsoft domain (like @hotmail.com, @live.com, @outlook.com, or @msn.com), you're permanently deleting the alias and it can't be associated with any Microsoft account again.

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

Kind regards,
