Microsoft account for Minecraft switch

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

What do you mean by mobile Minecraft account? Your "Minecraft account" is actually your Microsoft account. You sign in to Minecraft using your Microsoft account. Do you receive a notification on your phone instead of the Switch?

When you click login with microsoft, click the switch account in the bottom left corner. Pick the correct account that you use to switch your account and taadaa. Minecraft works.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues signing in to Minecraft on Switch.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

ensure your Switch's date and time are synchronized, log out and back into your Microsoft account, check your internet connection, and verify your Minecraft account is linked to your Microsoft account.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of troubleshooting steps:

Please verify Nintendo Switch settings. To do this, make sure that your Switch's date and time are accurate and synchronized with the internet.

As well as your Switch's region settings are correct.

Once done checking, restart your Nintendo Switch.

For your Microsoft Account authentication. Please sign out of your Microsoft account on the Switch and then sign back in. Make sure that your Microsoft account settings allow online play and that you're not under any child safety restrictions.

And if you have two-factor authentication enabled, ensure you're using the Microsoft Authenticator app to verify your sign-in.

Regarding Minecraft and internet connection. Kindly ensure you have a stable and strong internet connection. After that is to close and reopen the Minecraft application.

It is also important to ensure that your Minecraft game is up to date.

Aside from that make sure that no firewall or other security software is blocking Minecraft from connecting to Microsoft services.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Do you play Minecraft on the Nintendo Switch and on your phone with the same Microsoft account?
