Minecraft Remote Login Issues

ThatGirlVal · Dec 2, 2021

I recently received a new update for minecraft on my nintendo switch. Before I received the update, I was able to sign into my xbox account on my switch through the game. All I had to do was click the sign-in button on the left part of my screen, wait for it to connect, and then play. All my login information (email and password) were saved to my game and switch. Now, I don't stay logged in and there is no option for me to sign in to my xbox account on my switch. If I want to be connected to my account, I am forced to use a remote login. It's tedious and a hassle to have to pull up the remote login URL on my computer, enter the code, enter my password, and wait for it to connect. I just want to be able to sign in once and stay signed in. Having to sign in using a remote login over and over every single time I want to play minecraft is frustrating. What happened? Is there any way I can fix it? Is this permanent? Is this because of mojang? Please help.

And yes, I have checked the forums and help center links already- none of the information provided has worked.

I ha e never been asked to log into minecraft as its on the ps4. The remote connect login page doesn't show any gamer tag. Only asks you for your Microsoft login details. Email and password. I've downloaded the xbox app and logged in with the same details
to check and it's the correct account for when I had an xbox. But when using the same details on the remote connect for ps4 minecraft, it's logging me in with a completely different gamer tag and gamer tag picture.

To add to the issue I've logged out of that account on minecraft on the ps4 and tried again using remote connect on the laptop (to see if there's some issue with logging on with my phone) and after entering my email address and password, the ps4 minecraft
says that it will not log in with these details as I've already logged in with the gamer tag I don't recognise. It let's you sign out but it says I can only use that a account.

figured it out, lots of people are having this issue.

you need to connect directly to the ps4 unfortunately to get the game running, if you launch minecraft via remote then none of the sign ins will work. once started directly on the console then you can use remote login and all functions for the game will work.

no other way around it.

do you have any screen at all at home with hdmi, if so just hook that up to start the game initially.

Hi There!

My suggestion would be check if the app is up to date and doesn't require up dating.

Otherwise issues with IOS and Minecraft may be better addressed at the link below, which is also specifically for the pocket editions (mobiles):

Hope this finds you to a solution!
