Lost access to Microsoft I migrated my Mojang account to.

M Bell · Aug 3, 2022

I recently lost access to my google email account which I've used for many years and linked to many accounts and sadly I made a mistake and entered the wrong password too many times for my Microsoft account too, which meant I couldn't confirm the account was mine using my email.

I've also conveniently changed my phone number fairly recently so can't use that.

I've tried to recover it a few times of the last few months but it keeps telling me I don't have enough information, this is because I'm pretty sure it was a new account I made to migrate my Mojang account and hadn't used it for anything else in the past.

I'm also unsure if I should enter passwords that could have been used before or if I have to be certain the passwords I give have been used?

It's annoying it asks about Xbox but doesn't ask for any Mojang account information in the recovery page as I remember the email and password for my Mojang account that was linked to it, but the minecraft website wont accept those details as I've already migrated.

I'd really like access to this account as I had minecraft purchased on it.

Since you did not lost access to your Microsoft account - but to a not migrated Mojang account - only Mojang is responsible and might help you with your account recovery. Even though Microsoft owns Mojang, they are not the same company. Microsoft is Microsoft, Mojang is Mojang. Microsoft employees are not Mojang employees and vice-versa. So only Mojang might help you with this - depending if they actually have features/options for account recovery.

Hello, M. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Do you know if you had an alternate email address associated with this account? You could try to recover it if you still have access to this alternate email address:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

If the recovery form is not working, please try to review your information and try submitting it again. If the account does not have an alternate email address or phone number that you can access, the recovery form is the only available option to recover it.

Feel free to ask back any questions.

The Minecraft migration from Mojang is on a separate Microsoft account. How can I access my purchase?

If you bought it on a Mojang account some time ago, the Mojang system should have asked you to perform an account migration to a Microsoft account.

Only the migrated Microsoft account or the Microsoft account with which you directly purchased the game can access it, if it is locked, unfortunately you will not be able to use the game.

That's normal, you can't access the old Mojang account after the migration, you need to use the email you used to migrate the Mojang account to, in the launcher you need to select Minecraft Java and then Microsoft login and then use the email you use during the migration process
