Microsoft authentication for minecraft

Hello,

Which platform are you on, and which Minecraft are you experiencing this issue with?

Some threads to check out and check their solutions:

• mincraft bedrock server - You need to authenticate with microsoft - Microsoft Community
  
• You need to authenticate to Microsoft services - Microsoft Community
  
• Minecraft "authenticate to microsoft services" - Microsoft Community
  

This could also be a result of a Network Status error. You can check here: Xbox Status | Xbox Support

There was an issue with Game services this week. Let me know what you try and any other information you can share.

Thanks,

it appears that the setting to automaticly set the clock is off and that caused the issue

Hi, Finley Wier.

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.



From your description, I understand that you are asked to "Authenticate Microsoft Services" when playing Minecraft. I understand your confusion about this issue.



To understand that you are encountering problems with authentication in Microsoft services:

1. Try to delete and re-add your Microsoft account: In the Authenticator app, try to delete your current Microsoft account, re-add it, and then rescan the QR code to link it again.
   
2. Re-sign in to Minecraft.
   
3. Try restarting your device and uninstalling and reinstalling the game to see if the problem persists.
   

You can refer to the same error on PC:

Ok, sorry my bad I miss the part of the Chromebook, if the authenticator app says it doesn't exist could be that you are writing the account wrong, sometimes we miss some letters for example or you are not using the Microsoft authenticator app that is the one that will work for that

Could you share a screenshot of the message you have on Minecraft? Probably you are missing the option to use a different authentication method

Same problem on PS4, with Plus.

authenticating into Microsoft seems to affect my PSN status. I show as signed in on my machine, and in my son’s PSN, but not in his Minecraft.

very frustrating.
