Minecraft bedrock not letting me switch an account or sign in

Hello,

Some questions:

• I assume this is on PC, if not could you let me know
  
• Were you told to move the files within the game or outside of the game?
  
• Do you have multiple profiles on this PC?
  
• Have you completed the Minecraft Migration process?
  

Can you try signing out of the Microsoft Store App, and The Xbox App, then Sign into the account that purchased Minecraft in the Microsoft Store App, then the same one in the Xbox App, then try signing into the Minecraft Launcher with the exact same account.

Thank you,

Hi Arnaud,

Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand having issue accessing Bedrock edition Minecraft. Have you changed sign in accounts? Make sure you are signing in with the account that originally switched to Bedrock. You can also reach out to
Mojang support for more assistance.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello River Heyburn,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue with Minecraft Bedrock. The error message you're seeing means that the Microsoft account you're trying to use to sign in to Minecraft Bedrock is already connected to another Minecraft account. This could be because you previously used a different Minecraft account with the same Microsoft account, or because someone else has used your Microsoft account to sign in to Minecraft.



To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:



1. Go to the Xbox website and sign in with the Microsoft account you're trying to use to sign in to Minecraft Bedrock.

2. Click on "Profile & settings" and then "Account settings".

3. Under "Your info", click on "Sign-in preferences".

4. Make sure that "Ask for my password" is selected under "Security preferences".

5. Scroll down to "Apps and services" and click on "Apps and services that can access your account".

6. Look for Minecraft Bedrock in the list of apps and services and click on it.

7. Click on "Remove these permissions" and confirm that you want to remove Minecraft Bedrock's access to your Microsoft account.

8. Try signing in to Minecraft Bedrock again with your Microsoft account.



If this doesn't work, please connect with our live support team.



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

Thank you for the response

1. Are you using a new device?

• No
  

2. Have you tried playing Minecraft on this device?

• As I mentioned in my initial post, Java Minecraft plays fine. Bedrock Minecraft won't let me sign in.
  

3. Did you sign in using the same account where your game is attached?

• Yes
  

4. After migrating your account, can you sign in successfully to Minecraft?

• Yes, on the Java Version
  
• No on the Bedrock Version (As I stated in my initial post)
  

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

good morning
