    Minecraft on iPad won't login to Microsoft/Xbox account


    We have two Ipad Mini 4's. Neither of them will log into the Minecraft or Xbox apps...we have tried deleting and re-downloading the apps with no changes. We go to log in and get the error message "Something went wrong. There is a problem with your Microsoft account. To fix this, sign in to account.live.com from a browser." The only option is to click cancel...no error code, no option to change the log in credentials, nothing but cancel.

    We get the same error message in both the Minecraft and Xbox apps on the ipad. We are able to log into both the Microsoft and Xbox accounts on my laptop just fine, but there's no way to "fix" whatever is wrong with the iPad apps.

    An internet search suggested connecting from a different Wifi, so we tried that and nothing changed. It doesn't matter what Wifi we use, the apps never allow us to log in from the iPad. I understand that this has been a problem since January 2020--what the heck? How is there not a solution yet? Are we just not able to play Minecraft from an iPad anymore?

    :)

    Minecraft on Nintendo switch

    Hi,

    i cannot log into my microsoft account on the switch. We cannot access the worlds my son has already made on his ipad version. After trying several times we now cannot get minecraft to even open on our ipad.

    i am not very technical so please make any suggestions clear and simple 😊
    Hello LouDan2529,

    Could you please try these steps for me?

    - try to reboot the Apple’s iPad

    - change your microsoft account’s password.

    - try to log in from the Minecraft’s official website at: https://my.minecraft.net/en-us/login/

    - after it logs in successfully, go back to the game on the iPad and try to log in again.

    hope it works for you :)

    Minecraft: "You need to authenticate to Microsoft services"

    Hi!

    --------------------

    Update: I tried login when iPAD was connected to another network (used my cellphone 4G) and it worked to sign in.

    So there is something that is blocking connection (on WiFI) to Microsoft Account over iPAD from inside Minecraft.

    As described in #4 below I have tried to open up all ports I can find from readi
    ng but no luck.Please advice; What are the ports used by Microsoft account in Minecraft on iPAD?

    --------------------

    I have recently purchased Minecraft on iPad but I am unable to play online due to problems connecting to Microsoft Account in game.


    I am trying to setup so that me, my daughter and some of her friends can play together online.

    Problem Description

    I am unable to play on online servers or connect to any minecraft realms.
    I am able to log into my Microsoft account in the game, or at least my GamerTag shows, but when trying to connect to a server I get the error message:

    "You need to authenticate to Microsoft services".

    Minecraft Realms are no able to load either with the error message:

    "We could not connect to Realms right now. We will try again soon"

    So I am able to play offline and on LAN but not online due to the errors above.

    Microsoft account that I use runs without any restrictions (no children block of online play)

    What I have tried

    #1 I have confirmed that I can login to the Microsoft account with the Xbox app on the iPad so the credentials are valid.

    #2 I have tried switching to a secondary Microsoft account but with the same erroneous result.

    #3 I can login to the online servers from my Windows machine that runs on same home network and my network connection is otherwise stable.

    #4 UPnP is enabled on router and I anyway opened xbox live port on router specifically (even though it should not be needed as I can login over the xbox live app), but same error.

    •Port 88 (UDP)

    •Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)

    •Port 500 (UDP)

    •Port 3544 (UDP)

    •Port 4500 (UDP)

    Updated: I also updated port forward to include:

    UDP: 53, 1863, 3075, 16000

    TCP: 53, 80, 1863, 3075, 16000


    #5 Started hosting an online server with exact version as the IPadOS bedrock version, but same error.

    System Info

    Minecraft version: 1.14.30 (updated to latest)

    iPad 10.2 7thGen

    iPadOS 13.4

    I would really appreciate some support in order to get this working.

    I am happy to provide additional information on request.

    Thanks in advance
